pbs_login(1B)

okay so bestie, this is pbs_login(1B) and we're gonna get you all the way together 💅

💖 NAME 💖

pbs_login — cache encrypted user password for authentication ✨

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

pbs_login
pbs_login -m <PBS service account password>
echo <password>| pbs_login -p

🦋 Description 🦋

The pbs_login command encrypts the password and caches it locally where it can be used by daemons for authorization. no cap, that's the whole vibe 💫

Job submitters must run this command at each submission host each time their password changes. like, every submission host, every password change — don't skip it 🙈

On Windows, the win_postinstall script calls pbs_login to store the PBS service account password so that the account user can be authenticated by daemons. iconic install behavior, honestly 🎀

👑 Required Privilege 👑

Can be run by any user. yup, literally any user — main character energy for everyone 💜

✨ Options to pbs_login ✨

• (no options) — queries user for password. that's it, that's the option: no flag, just vibes and a password prompt 🫶
• -m <PBS service account password> — this option is intended to be used only by the PBS service account, which is the account that is used to execute pbs_mom via the Service Control Manager on Windows. It's used during installation when invoked by the win_postinstall script, or by the administrator when the PBS service account password has changed. Stores PBS service account password in the mom_priv directory. real talk: this one is for the service account, not for random chaos 😭
• -p — caches user password on client host. Intended to be run by job submitter at client host. Allows job submitter to be authenticated by daemons. this is the job-submitter-at-the-client-host special, fr fr 💅
