LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

LSF_USER_DOMAIN
Syntax
LSF_USER_DOMAIN=domain_name | .
Description
Set during LSF installation or setup. If you modify this parameter in an existing cluster, you
probably have to modify passwords and configuration files also.
Windows or mixed UNIX-Windows clusters only.
Enables default user mapping, and specifies the LSF user domain. The period (.) specifies local
accounts, not domain accounts.
•
A user name specified without a domain is interpreted (on a Windows host) as belonging
to the LSF user domain
•
A user name specified with the domain name of the LSF user domain is not valid
•
In a mixed cluster, this parameter defines a 2-way, 1:1 user map between UNIX user
accounts and Windows user accounts belonging to the specified domain, as long as the
accounts have the same user name. This means jobs submitted by the Windows user
account can run on a UNIX host, and jobs submitted by the UNIX account can run on any
Windows host that is available to the Windows user account.
If this parameter is not defined, the default user mapping is not enabled. You can still configure
user mapping at the user or system level. User account mapping is required to run cross-
platform jobs in a UNIX-Windows mixed cluster.
Where defined
lsf.conf
Default
•
If you upgrade from LSF 4.0.1 or earlier, the default is the existing LSF user domain.
•
For a new, Windows-only cluster, this parameter is not defined (no LSF user domain, no
default user mapping).
•
For a new, mixed UNIX-Windows cluster, the default is the domain that the Windows
installation account belongs to. This can be modified during LSF installation.
