= logind: login daemon == SYNOPSIS *auth/logind*  _Logind_ is normally started by _svc_(8) to service requests on the*inflogin* TCP/IP port, to provide a `signing' service (identityauthentication) for a network. Ultimately, the client receives acertificate that can be used to establish its identity with any hostthat is willing to honour certificates from the certificate's signer. The signer constructs the certificate from the contents of the signer'skey file */keydb/signerkey*, typically created by _createsignerkey_(8),and the ID string and password supplied by the client (which are used toaccess _keyfs_(4) to check identity). The protocol involves an exchange of information between the client andserver, as summarised in _login_(6). The client side of this exchangecan be managed by the *Login* module; see _security-login_(2). Client and server communicate over the Secure Socket Layer device_ssl_(3). == FILES */keydb/keys*::*/keydb/signerkey*:: == SOURCE */appl/cmd/auth/logind.b* == SEE ALSO _security-login_(2), _ssl_(3), _keyfs_(4), _keys_(6), _changelogin_(8),_createsignerkey_(8), _svc_(8)
