But if I look at a pea file, this seems to contain *three* pieces of relevant information - the name, the password AND the name of the pool
e.g. name="us3profile3" (and the cluster id, but I don't care about that). This is especially important if there is more than one pool assigned to a particular node ip address.
So my question: If I wish to use the name/password form of the Connection String, is there a parameter to also specify the Pool?
You don not need to specify the pool - the profile (the user in the case of the user/secret combination) settings on the cluster determine the home pool (for storing content) and access rights for operations on all other pools on the cluster.
Am I right in assuming then that a particular user can only deposit content in ONE pool. So (exagerated example) if I had 20 pools I would need to create at least twenty users
Sort of - a profile has a single pool that it can write content to (its home pool) but multiple profiles can write to a single pool (in other words have the same home pool). Alternatively, multiple "users" could use the same profile credentials to connect and thus all write to the same pool.
