owampd authentication documentation #42

Closed dopheide-esnet closed 5 years ago

dopheide-esnet commented 5 years ago

This is just a usability issue. Being new to owamp and perfsonar usage, I struggled to figure out how to get an authenticated/encrypted session connected. (I imagine most use cases don't use it, but I hope to build a protocol analyzer and needed pcaps with those options enabled.)

1) It would be helpful if the README/INSTALL files pointed to the process to use pfstore to create the needed .pfs file. 2) This may be a result of how the rpm packages are built for CentOS 7, but the owampd man page refers to owawpd.pfs, however the daemon actually tries to read owamp-server.pfs.

I'm happy to provide a pull request for (1) if you'd like, but I'm not sure how you may want to handle (2).

I think it would be best to update the man pages with this info, if you still care to make a pull request?

Just submitted Pull #51.

I will try to rename man pages to match the names of config files we have now.
