7.2.3. Managing Credentials for RSM Queues (rsm.exe creds)

You can use the RSM Utilities application to manually cache credentials that you want to use when submitting jobs to RSM queues, as well as validate and list accounts. For general information about credential caching and setting up accounts using the RSM Configuration application, see RSM-Supported Applications and Solvers.

The following arguments are used with operators of the creds command:

Table 7.2: Arguments Used for Managing Credentials

Argument	Usage
-a account	Account name to be used for job submission to RSM queue. The default is the current account.
-rq queue	The RSM queue to which the credentials will be applied. For caching, the default is all queues.
-l	Launch UserProxy after validation. (Validation only)

Refer to the table above when performing the following tasks:

7.2.3.1. Caching Credentials for an RSM Queue

Any user can cache their credentials for an RSM queue. Password caching must be done from the client machine.

Refer to Table 7.2: Arguments Used for Managing Credentials when running the caching command.

To cache credentials:

Windows: Run the following command in the [RSMInstall]\bin directory:

rsm.exe creds c[ache] -a account -rq queue

Linux: Run the following command in the [RSMInstall]/Config/tools/linux directory:

rsmutils creds c[ache] -a account -rq queue

When you run the caching command, you will be prompted for the password. For example:

C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v242\RSM\bin>rsm.exe creds cache -a ANSYS\atester -rq LSF-SCRATCH
Caching password for: ANSYS\atester
Enter password:

7.2.3.2. Validating Credentials for an RSM Queue

You can run a validation command to test whether or not the credentials cached for an RSM queue are valid. Refer to Table 7.2: Arguments Used for Managing Credentials when running the validation command.

To validate RSM queue credentials:

Windows: Run the following command in the [RSMInstall]\bin directory:

rsm.exe creds v[alidate] -rq queue [-l]

Linux: Run the following command in the [RSMInstall]/Config/tools/linux directory:

rsmutils creds v[alidate] -rq queue [-l]

Below is a sample validation:

C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v242\RSM\bin>rsm.exe creds v -rq LSF-SCRATCH
Credentials are valid for target Queue (or not needed).

7.2.3.3. Listing the RSM Configurations Associated with an Account

To list the RSM configurations to which an account's cached credentials resolve:

Windows: Run the following command in the [RSMInstall]\bin directory:

rsm.exe creds l[ist] -a account

Windows: Run the following command in the [RSMInstall]/Config/tools/linux directory:

rsmutils creds l[ist] -a account

Below is a sample listing for an account:

C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v242\RSM\bin>rsm.exe creds l -a ANSYS\atester
Credentials cached for Account ANSYS\atester resolve to these destinations:
    LSF Cluster

7.2.3.4. Listing the Accounts Associated with an RSM Queue

To list the accounts that have been applied to an RSM queue:

Windows: Run the following command in the [RSMInstall]\bin directory:

rsm.exe creds l[ist] -rq queue

Linux: Run the following command in the [RSMInstall]/Config/tools/linux directory:

rsmutils creds l[ist] -rq queue

Below is a sample listing for an RSM queue:

C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v242\RSM\bin>rsm.exe creds l -rq HPC-SCRATCH
Credentials cached for Cluster Configuration MSHPC as:
    ANSYS\user1
