Log in to EFA

Use of the EFA command line requires a valid, logged-in user.

1. Verify the status of the EFA deployment using one of the following methods.
   • Run the SLX show efa status command.
   • Run the EFA efactl status script (or the efa status command, as an alternative).

   For more information, see Verify the Running System and Services.

2. Log in to EFA.
   

   $ efa login --username <username>
   Password: <password>

   The <username> variable is optional. If you do not provide a user name, log-in defaults to the current (Unix) user.
   With a successful log-in, the command prompt shows the logged-in user in green text. If the log-in is not successful, the command prompt is displayed in red text.
3. To log out of EFA, run the efa logout command.
