This module is deprecated. For a description of the Magic Cookie system, refer to Distributed Erlang in the Erlang Reference Manual.

 Magic cookie for local node (deprecated).

Use erlang:get_cookie() in ERTS instead.

 Set the magic for the local node (deprecated). The cookie can also be specified as a list with a single atom element.

Use erlang:set_cookie(node(), Cookie) in ERTS instead.

 Status of communication authorization (deprecated).

Returns yes if communication with Node is authorized. Notice that a connection to Node is established in this case. Returns no if Node does not exist or communication is not authorized (it has another cookie than auth thinks it has).

Use net_adm:ping(Node) instead.

 node_cookie([Node, Cookie]) -> yes | no Set the magic cookie for a node and verify authorization (deprecated). Node = node() Cookie = cookie()

Equivalent to node_cookie(Node, Cookie).

 Set the magic cookie for a node and verify authorization (deprecated).

Sets the magic cookie of Node to Cookie and verifies the status of the authorization. Equivalent to calling erlang:set_cookie(Node, Cookie), followed by auth:is_auth(Node).
