+Xrootd service can be configured as a standalone service or in [#DPMXrootd conjunction with DPM]. It is configured by several specific variables.
+
+ * `XROOTD_PARAMS`: this nlist allows to specify the main parameters of the Xrootd cluster.
+ * `XROOTD_SERVER_ROLES`: list of roles held by the local host. Possible values are: `disk', `redir`, `fedredir`.
+ * `XROOTD_SHARED_KEY`: this variable allows to specify the shared secret used between all nodes participating to the Xrootd cluster.
+ * `XROOTD_AUTH_TOKEN_PARAMS`: this nlist allows to specify the parameters specific to the optional, deprecated, token-based authorization (mainly used by ALICE VO).
+
+For the parameters supported in each variable, look at `ncm-xrootd` schema and man page.
+ * `XROOTD_PARAMS` supports all the general Xrootd options
+ * `XROOTD_AUTH_TOKEN_PARAMS` supports all the Xrootd toek-based authorization options
