Configure PAM resource limits

Resolving The Problem

You want to configure PAM resource limits

PAM limits are system resource limits defined in limits.conf.

* Linux: /etc/pam.d/lsf

When USE_PAM_CREDS is enabled in lsb.queues or lsb.applications, PAM limits apply to an application or queue when a job dispatches to a Linux host that has PAM. The job will fail if the execution host does not have PAM configured.

Configure a PAM file:

1. Create a PAM configuration file on the execution hosts you choose.

/etc/pam.d/lsf

2. In the first two lines, specify the authentication and authorization you need to successfully run PAM limits. For example:

auth required pam_localuser.so

account required pam_unix.so

3. Specify any resource limits. For example:

session required pam_limits.so

If lsb.queues or lsb.applications define USE_PAM_CREDS=y, resource limits apply to jobs that run on the execution host.that have a PAM configuration file
