Memcached for RHEL and CentOS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Identity service authentication mechanism for services uses Memcached
to cache tokens. The memcached service typically runs on the controller
node. For production deployments, we recommend enabling a combination of
firewalling, authentication, and encryption to secure it.
Install and configure components
--------------------------------
#. Install the packages:
**For CentOS 7 and RHEL 7**
.. code-block:: console
# yum install memcached python-memcached
**For CentOS 8 and RHEL 8**
.. code-block:: console
# yum install memcached python3-memcached
2. Edit the ``/etc/sysconfig/memcached`` file and complete the
following actions:
* Configure the service to use the management IP address of the
controller node. This is to enable access by other nodes via
the management network:
.. code-block:: none
OPTIONS="-l 127.0.0.1,::1,controller"
.. note::
Change the existing line ``OPTIONS="-l 127.0.0.1,::1"``.
Finalize installation
---------------------
* Start the Memcached service and configure it to start when the system
boots:
.. code-block:: console
# systemctl enable memcached.service
# systemctl start memcached.service
