1.3 Initial Configuration

The automated setup script will correctly configure Moab Access Portal (MAP) for most sites; however, additional configuration options may be considered after installation:

• Ensure Non-Privileged User Access: To ensure that non-privileged users (those who are not given a specific ADMIN role level in Workload Manager's configuration) have proper access to all Access Portal functionality it may be necessary to enable default ADMIN4 as the default role. To do this place "ADMINCFG[4] USERS=ALL" in your moab.cfg file and restart Moab Workload Manager.
• Changing Cluster Head Node Settings:If your cluster head node's location or address changes you may need to change MAP's settings accordingly. This can be done by editing the "MAP-hosts" file located in MAP's configuration directory.
• Configure Moab Access Portal for MULTIPLE Clusters: If Access Portal will connect to multiple clusters refer to Multiple Cluster Configuration.
• Tweak Settings in the map.properties File: Some default settings may need tweaking depending on the needs of your site.
  • UPLOADDIR - specify where uploaded scripts should be temporarily stored
  • SCRIPTDIR - specify where custom scripts should be temporarily stored
  • SSH-KEY-AUTH - specify whether or not you use SSH keys, instead of passwords, to authenticate users.
  • NOTE: If you plan on using SSH-KEY-AUTH (SSH key authentication) also follow the SSH Key Configuration steps.
