lws.conf

The lws.conf file is the main LSF Web Services configuration file for general settings, including SSL, OAuth2, user mapping, enhanced security, and other configuration parameters.

Location

The lws.conf file is located in the $LWS_TOP/conf directory.

Format

Each entry in lsf.conf has one of the following forms:

NAME=VALUE
NAME=
NAME="STRING1 STRING2 ..."

The equal sign = must follow each NAME even if no value follows and there should be no space beside the equal sign.

A value that contains multiple strings separated by spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks.

Lines starting with a pound sign (#) are comments and are ignored. Do not use #if as this is reserved syntax for time-based configuration.

Parameters

Refer to the comments within the lsf.conf for descriptions of each section the parameters within the them.

Note: You can use the esecurity.json file for additional secure LSF Web Services access. The esecurity.json file only takes effect if you have set ENHANCED_SECURITY="Y" in the # ENHANCED SECURITY PARAMETERS section of this lws.conf file. By default, it is set to ENHANCED_SECURITY="N".
