Configuration to enable UNIX/Windows user account mapping

Enable the UNIX/Windows user account mapping feature by defining one or more LSF user domains using the LSF_USER_DOMAIN parameter in lsf.conf.

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.
