During the installation of MiniCluster, the installation process requires you to create and register the first MCMU user called mcinstall. The user's demographic information, including email address, and phone number are collected. The mcinstall user is the first primary administrator account. Upon the first mcinstall log in, the utility requires mcinstall to create a new password in accordance with Oracle Solaris password policies that are associated with the Security profile.
During the registration of the mcinstall user, you are required to specify a person to serve as the MCMU supervisor. The supervisor is only identified by a name and email address. The supervisor is not an MCMU user, and has no login credentials.
Both the supervisor and mcinstall users are associated with real person names and valid email addresses.
When new MCMU users are provisioned, each user account is assigned with a role of primary administrator or secondary administrator (see Role-Based Access Control). Before the new account is enabled, the mcinstall user and supervisor must both approve the new user account though a URL they receive in email (see MCMU User Approval Process). Upon first login, the user is forced to set a password that conforms to the MCMU password polices. See User Authentication and Password Policies.
