registers user passwords in LSF on Windows
Synopsis
lspasswd [-u user_name] [-p password]
lspasswd [-r] [-u user_name]
lspasswd [-c] [-u user_name] [-p password]
lspassword [-h | -V]
Description
Registers user passwords in LSF on Windows. Passwords must be longer than 3
characters and 31 characters or less.
By default, if no options are specified, the password applies to the user who issued
the command.
Users must update the password maintained by LSF if they change their Windows
user account password.
Passwords are Windows user account passwords and are saved in the LSF database.
LSF uses the passwords to start jobs on behalf of the user.
lspasswd communicates with LSF services to store the password. The password is
stored in encrypted format and the password database is protected by file access
permissions. The password remains encrypted as it travels through the network.
The
-p option allows scripts to use lspasswd. You should not use this option
directly on the command line because the password is entered in full view on the
command line. Only error messages are displayed when using the
-p option.
Options
-c -u user_name -p password
Check that the password is valid for the specified user.
-r -u user_name
Remove the user entry from the password database.
-u user_name -p password
Specify the user and password for the user whose password you want to register or
change. Include the domain name in uppercase letters (DOMAIN_NAME\
user_name).
-h Prints command usage to stderr and exits.
-V Prints LSF release version to stderr and exits.
Limitations
You must run lspasswd from an LSF Windows host.
