Configure a PAM file

About this task

When USE_PAM_CREDS is enabled in lsb.queues or lsb.applications, the limits specified in the PAM configuration file are applied to an application or queue when its job is dispatched to a Linux host using PAM. The job will fail if the execution host does not have PAM configured.

Procedure

  1. Create a PAM configuration file on each execution host you want.

    /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

Results

On hosts that have a PAM configuration file with resource limits specified and when USE_PAM_CREDS=y in lsb.queues or lsb.applications, applies resource limits on jobs running on the execution host.
