  • Change Control: Stable
  • Synopsis: To specify which auth method to use encrypt/decrypt data
  • Details: This switch allows admin/user to configure which library should be used to encrypt/decrypt data. The given library should support encrypt/decrypt data. If this switch is added in pbs.conf and the given library doesn't support encrypt/decrypt data then PBS will throw an error saying "The given PBS_ENCRYPT_METHOD = <library> does not support encrypt/decrypt of data" at startup and fails to start. If this switch is not specified then PBS will not encrypt/decrypt data. This key should be used along with PBS_AUTH_METHOD to use one library to authenticate and another library to encrypt/decrypt data. For example, admin/user wants to use "munge" for authentication only and "gss" for encrypting/decrypting data only then admin/user should set PBS_AUTH_METHOD=munge and PBS_ENCRYPT_METHOD=gss. The value is case-insensitive. This key is client-driven so it should be set on client-side only.

Interface: Modification to "PBS_AUTH_METHOD" in pbs.conf

  • Details: This switch allows admin/user to configure which library should be considered as a default library to use in authenticating. The value is case-insensitive. The default value is "resvport"This key is client-driven so it should be set on client-side only.
