6 usermapping - user mapping entry file format
7
9 A usermapping entry is used to define alias names for a cluster user.
10 The user's name known by the scheduling system is known as the cluster
11 user. If the cluster user doesn't match the user account name on an
12 execution host, the usermapping feature can solve the problem.
13
14 Each line in the usermapping entry file specifies a user name and the
15 host(s) where he has an account.
16
17 A list of currently configured user mapping entries can be displayed
18 via the qconf(1) -sumapl option. The contents of each enlisted user
19 mapping entry can be shown via the -sumap switch. The output follows
20 the usermapping format description. New user entries can be created and
21 existing ones can be modified via the -aumap, -mumap and -dumap options
22 to qconf(1).
23
25 A user mapping entry contains two parameters:
26
27 cluster_user
28 The cluster_user keyword defines the cluster user name. The rest of the
29 text after the keyword "cluster_user" will be taken as cluster user
30 value.
31
32
33 remote_user
34 The user name on an execution host. Please note that the value for this
35 attribute might be overwritten for certain hostgroups or single host.
36 See an example below.

41 This is a typical user mapping entry for a cluster user mapping:
42
43
44 cluster_user peter
45
46 remote_user peter,[@linux=pet1],[fangorn=peter1]
47
48 The entry will map the user peter which is defined in the cluster sys‐
49 tem to the user peter on all hosts in the cluster except for all hosts
50 which are referenced in the hostgroup @linux. For all these hosts the
51 user will be mapped to pet1. For the host fangorn the remote user will
52 be peter1. hostgroup(5) to obtain for more information about that.
