All machines in the Genome environment have a default root password set as detailed in the appendix. By default Repo Appliances have a local user named genome who owns all content under /pub/git
. Out of the box there is no password set and users of Repo Appliances should feel free to use whatever method of authentication they choose.
Typical methods of authentication are:
Setting a password
Using SSH public key authentication
There is a good chance Genome will make use of FreeIPA someday.
