<h2>Participant Accounts</h2>
<p>
Each participant has a separate <b>account</b> with each project in
which they participate. An account consists of:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
An email address.
</li>
<li>
A public "screen name" (real name or nickname)
</li>
<li>
A web password (chosen by the user)
</li>
<li>
An authenticator (a 32-byte string assigned by the project)
</li>
</ul>
<p>
A participant's accounts are described in an <b>account file</b> on
each of their hosts. This file looks like this:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;accounts&gt;
&lt;project&gt;
&lt;home_project/&gt;
&lt;domain&gt;setiathome.berkeley.edu&lt;/domain&gt;
&lt;scheduler_url&gt;http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/boinc-cgi/cgi&lt;/scheduler_url&gt;
&lt;authenticator&gt;3f7b90793a0175ad0bda68684e8bd136&lt;/authenticator&gt;
&lt;/project&gt;
&lt;project&gt;
&lt;domain&gt;bio.wwu.edu&lt;/domain&gt;
&lt;scheduler_url&gt;http://bio.wwu.edu/boinc-cgi/cgi&lt;/scheduler_url&gt;
&lt;authenticator&gt;3f7b90793a0175ad0bda68684e8bd136&lt;/authenticator&gt;
&lt;/project&gt;
&lt;/accounts&gt;
</pre>
<p>
One account can be designated as the <b>home project</b>; this is
the project where the user maintains their preferences.
