Installation

The OnDemand host machine needs to be setup similarly to a login node. This means that it will need:

• RedHat/CentOS 6+
• a common user/group database, e.g., LDAP + NSS
• a common host file list
• the resource manager (e.g., Torque, Slurm, or LSF) client binaries and libraries used by the batch servers installed
• configuration on both OnDemand node and batch servers to be able to submit, status, and delete jobs from command line
• signed SSL certificate with corresponding intermediate certificate for your advertised OnDemand host name (e.g., ondemand.my_center.edu)
• your LDAP URL, base DN, and attribute to search for (in some rare cases a bind DN and corresponding bind password)
