Feature: UNIX/Windows user account
mapping
The UNIX/Windows user account mapping feature enables cross-platform job submission
and execution in a mixed UNIX/Windows environment. Using this feature, you can map
Windows user accounts, which include a domain name, to UNIX user accounts, which do not
include a domain name, for user accounts with the same user name on both operating systems.

About UNIX/Windows user account mapping
In a mixed UNIX/Windows cluster, LSF treats Windows user names (with domain) and UNIX
user names (no domain) as different users. The UNIX/Windows user account mapping feature
makes job submission and execution transparent across operating systems by mapping
Windows accounts to UNIX accounts. With this feature enabled, LSF sends the user account
name in the format required by the operating system on the execution host.
