Client authentication records

Most clients connect to servers without requiring a user to type an username or password. When this happens, a client parses a configuration file for a username and password to send to the server for authentication instead of prompting a user. Most clients use the clientConnect.conf. The Broker uses its own file, brokerConnect.conf.

Note:

The Broker only uses brokerConnect.conf to send authentication to other processes so that it can ping them.
