LSF_USER_DOMAIN

Syntax

LSF_USER_DOMAIN=domain_name:domain_name:domain_name... .

Description

Enables the UNIX/Windows user account mapping feature, which allows cross-platform job submission and execution in a mixed UNIX/Windows environment. LSF_USER_DOMAIN specifies one or more Windows domains that LSF either strips from the user account name when a job runs on a UNIX host, or adds to the user account name when a job runs on a Windows host.

Important:

Configure LSF_USER_DOMAIN immediately after you install LSF; changing this parameter in an existing cluster requires that you verify and possibly reconfigure service accounts, user group memberships, and user passwords.

Specify one or more Windows domains, separated by a colon (:). You can enter an unlimited number of Windows domains. A period (.) specifies a local account, not a domain.

Examples

LSF_USER_DOMAIN=BUSINESS

LSF_USER_DOMAIN=BUSINESS:ENGINEERING:SUPPORT

Default

The default depends on your LSF installation:
  • If you upgrade a cluster to LSF version 7, the default is the existing value of LSF_USER_DOMAIN, if defined.
  • For a new cluster, this parameter is not defined, and UNIX/Windows user account mapping is not enabled.
