Hello,
we think about switch to SLURM. Currently we grant access to the cluster
using a active directory group, everyone in this group is allowed to run
jobs.
So the users are not known to the SLURM accounting database.
Is it possible to automatically add every new user to an default account
without manually adding the user with "sacctmgr add user user123
Account=test".
Regards
Ulf
Integration of Slurm with LDAP accounts have been implemented at EPFL in
Switzerland. You can read the Slurm user group talk "Technical: Keeping
Accounts Consistent Across Clusters Using LDAP and YAML, Christian
Clémençon, Ewan Roche, Ricardo Silva (EPFL)" in the page
https://slurm.schedmd.com/publications.html
Ewan Roche and colleagues have made their software available in this
page: https://c4science.ch/source/slurm-accounts/
FWIW, I have made some scripts to automate the creation of Slurm
accounts from the passwd database (not LDAP), see
https://github.com/OleHolmNielsen/Slurm_tools/tree/master/slurmaccounts
I hope this helps you getting started with Slurm.
