Cross-cluster user account mapping behavior
System-level configuration example
The following example illustrates LSF behavior when the LSF administrator sets up cross-
cluster user account mapping at the system level. This example shows the UserMap section of
the file lsb.users on both the local and remote clusters.
On cluster1:
Begin UserMap
LOCAL REMOTE DIRECTION
user1 user2@cluster2 export
user3 user6@cluster2 export
End UserMap
On cluster2:
Begin UserMap
LOCAL REMOTE DIRECTION
user2 user1@cluster1 import
user6 user3@cluster1 import
End UserMap
The mappings between users on different clusters are as follows:
