LSF_EAUTH_TIMEOUT

Syntax

LSF_EAUTH_TIMEOUT=time_minutes

Description

This parameter specifies the differential time threshold that LSF uses to determine the authenticity of eauth-encrypted requests on LSF.

LSF calculates the time differential between the eauth client and the eauth server. If the time differential is larger than this specified value, LSF rejects the request. LSF assumes that all clocks in the cluster have a small time difference, but if the hosts in your cluster have inconsistent clocks (for example, job submission clients with incorrect hardware clocks or virtual machines that are borrowed from the cloud), you can increase the value of this parameter to ensure that LSF does not reject valid requests.

Specify 0 to have the eauth server authenticate a client request regardless of the time difference.

Valid value

The timeout value must be an integer between 0 and 60.

Default

5 minutes
