LSF_AUTH_QUERY_COMMANDS

Syntax

LSF_AUTH_QUERY_COMMANDS=Y | N

Description

Controls the authentication for query commands if external authentication is enabled. If set to Y, enables query command authentication. Use the LSF_AUTH parameter in the lsf.conf file to specify the external client to server authentication method that is used.

Note:
  • Before enabling query command authentication in the LSF cluster, you must ensure that all hosts in the cluster (including management, server, and client hosts), including all LSF command executable files, are updated to LSF, Version 10.1 Fix Pack 11, or newer. If you have any commands that are built using the APIs from previous versions of LSF, you must also rebuild these commands with the APIs from this latest version of LSF.
  • If you are enabling query command authentication for the LSF multicluster capability, ensure that all the LSF clusters specify the same LSF_EAUTH_KEY value in their lsf.sudoers files.
  • If you are enabling query command authentication for multiple LSF clusters monitored by IBM® Spectrum LSF RTM, and use an LSF poller to collect LSF data from these cluster, ensure that all the LSF clusters use the same LSF_EAUTH_KEY value in their lsf.sudoers files.

After changing the value of the LSF_AUTH_QUERY_COMMANDS parameter, you must restart the mbatchd and gpolicyd daemons for this parameter to take effect.

Default
