If the +private key isn't the same for every node, those nodes with nonmatching private +keys will not be able to join the same configuration. +.PP +Copy the key to some security transportable storage or use ssh to transmit the +key from node to node. Then install the key with the command: +.PP +unix#: install -D --group=0 --owner=0 --mode=0400 /path_to_authkey/authkey /etc/corosync/authkey +.PP +If a message "Invalid digest" appears from the corosync executive, the keys +are not consistent between processors. +.PP +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B -k <filename> +This specifies the fully qualified path to the shared key to create. +.br +The default is /etc/corosync/authkey. +.TP +.B -r +Random number source file. Default is /dev/urandom. As an example /dev/random may be +used when really superb randomness is needed. +.TP +.B -s size +Size of the generated key in bytes. Default is 256 bytes.
