Hello A client of mine asked me how it can be complex if not impossible to find a WORKING HPC web Job Scheduler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_scheduler) that supports trasparent SSO in a mixed windows / linux env with an AD as domain dontroller (KERBEROS master KDC ). This web HPC job schedular should be installed on a Linux OS.
In particular, it is expected that such a web portal HPC should make possible: 1) authenticate the user to the portal platform without reproviding credentials (user, password), in what has already been provided for logging to the end user PC , based on windows integrated in AD 2) that the Kerberos ticket (which comes to the web portal server after the HTTP/SPNEGO negotation) should be propagated to the application (that you can select from the portal) that will be launched on the computational node by the scheduler 3) the the kerberos ticket will be available on the HPC node. and should be forwardable to other HPC nodes Maybe someone here has more experience with something similar. From my experience on other products this should be definitely possible, but it is always better to share knowledge on the topic. Thank you in advance.
