About Daemon Authentication
Daemon authentication
By default, LSF calls the eauth program only for user authentication (authenticate LSF
user requests to either RES or
mbatchd).
LSF can also authenticate the following communications between daemons, using the
same
eauth program:
◆ mbatchd requests to sbatchd
◆ sbatchd updates to mbatchd
◆ PAM to sbatchd interactions
◆ mbatchd to mbatchd (in a Platform MultiCluster environment)
The
eauth can use these environment variables to provide context:
◆ LSF_EAUTH_CLIENT - sender of the authentication request
◆ LSF_EAUTH_SERVER - receiver of the authentication request
Configuring daemon authentication
Set LSF_AUTH_DAEMONS in lsf.conf. For example,
LSF_AUTH_DAEMONS=1
