Mount Ceph FS as a FUSE
=========================
-To mount the Ceph file system as a File System in User Space (FUSE), you may
-use the ``ceph-fuse`` command. For example::
+
+For Ceph version 0.55 and later, ``cephx`` authentication is on by default.
+Before mounting a Ceph File System in User Space (FUSE), ensure that the client
+host has a copy of the Ceph configuration file and a keyring with CAPS for the
+Ceph metadata server.
+
+#. From your client host, copy the Ceph configuration file from the monitor host
+ to the ``/etc/ceph`` directory. ::
+
+ sudo mkdir -p /etc/ceph
+ sudo scp {user}@{server-machine}:/etc/ceph/ceph.conf /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
+
+#. From your client host, copy the Ceph keyring from the monitor host to
+ to the ``/etc/ceph`` directory. ::
+
+ sudo scp {user}@{server-machine}:/etc/ceph/ceph.keyring /etc/ceph/ceph.keyring
+
+#. Ensure that the Ceph configuration file and the keyring have appropriate
+ permissions set on your client machine (e.g., ``chmod 644``).
+
+For additional details on ``cephx`` configuration, see
+`CEPHX Config Reference`_.
+
+To mount the Ceph file system as a FUSE, you may use the ``ceph-fuse`` command.
+For example::
sudo mkdir /home/usernname/cephfs
sudo ceph-fuse -m 192.168.0.1:6789 /home/username/cephfs
-If ``cephx`` authentication is on, ``ceph-fuse`` will retrieve the name and
-secret from the key ring automatically.
-
-See `ceph-fuse`_ for details.
