Authentication<br />

About Daemon Authentication<br />

Daemon authentication<br />

By default, <strong>LSF</strong> calls the eauth program only for user authentication<br />

(authenticate <strong>LSF</strong> user requests to either RES or mbatchd).<br />

<strong>LSF</strong> can also authenticate the following communications between daemons,<br />

using the same eauth program:<br />

◆ mbatchd requests to sbatchd<br />

◆ sbatchd updates to mbatchd<br />

◆ PAM to sbatchd interactions<br />

◆ mbatchd to mbatchd (in a <strong>Platform</strong> MultiCluster environment)<br />

The eauth can use these environment variables to provide context:<br />

◆ <strong>LSF</strong>_EAUTH_CLIENT - sender of the authentication request<br />

◆ <strong>LSF</strong>_EAUTH_SERVER - receiver of the authentication request<br />

Configuring daemon authentication<br />

Set <strong>LSF</strong>_AUTH_DAEMONS in lsf.conf. For example,<br />

<strong>LSF</strong>_AUTH_DAEMONS=1<br />

<strong>Administering</strong> <strong>Platform</strong> <strong>LSF</strong> 501
