example of configs that work with no authorization?
I was trying to do a quick POC on a test cluster and use slurm-web to visualize jobs on the nodes. I really don't need any authorization (and I don't have ldap on the test cluster, think cluster in the cloud), but don't know what config to change from the default example. I tried authorization: disable, but that was not enough. What else do you need to disable authorization? (I.e. shortest path to a working example?)
Thank you!
In your restapi.conf, you may set authentication = disable in the [config] section. Is that what your are looking for?
Otherwise, slurm-web has to find some information about UIDs with jobs in slurm's queue. So, it has to get this information somehow. It uses pwd.getpwuid call to get that information. If an LDAP backend is configured, pwd will use it.
This issue concerns Slurm-web v2 which is not maintained anymore. You are highly encouraged to test the new version v3.0.0 for which the quick start guide is available online: https://docs.rackslab.io/slurm-web/install/quickstart.html
Note that Slurm-web v3.0.0 supports guest mode without LDAP authentication. Feel free to ask questions in discussions Q&A sections if you need help.
Unless someone is motivated to maintain the old version of Slurm-web or you have a justified reason to keep this issue open, it will be closed in a few weeks.
For the reasons explained in the previous comment, I finally close this issue.
