Oops sorry, I wasn't intending to imply it wasn't a valid way to do it, it's just that across the many organisations I've helped with HPC systems down here it's not something I'd come across before. Even the couple that had common authN/authZ configs between user workstations and clusters had the management nodes firewalled off so the only access to the batch system was by ssh into the login nodes of the cluster. I think it's good to hear from sites where this is the case because we can easily get stuck in our own little bubbles until something comes and trips us up like that. All the best!
