Authentication
Controlling access to remote execution has two requirements:
◆ Authenticate the user.
When a user executes a remote command, the command must be run with that
user’s permission. The LSF daemons need to know which user is requesting the
remote execution.
◆ Check access controls on the remote host.
The user must be authorized to execute commands remotely on the host.
This chapter describes user, host, and daemon authentication in LSF.
