[slurm-users] Slurmdbd - error: cannot find auth plugin for auth/none

[Mullen, Drew]

Hi,

I’m working on a POC where I was hoping to avoid authentication between slurmctld and slurmdbd for initial testing, etc. The option appears to not be implemented.

Error:

] error: Couldn't find the specified plugin name for auth/none looking at all files
] error: cannot find auth plugin for auth/none
] error: cannot create auth context for auth/none
] fatal: Unable to initialize auth/none authentication plugin

Slurmdbd.conf (db password redacted)

$ sudo cat /etc/slurm/slurmdbd.conf
AuthType=auth/none
DbdAddr=localhost
  DbdHost=localhost
  SlurmUser=slurm
  DebugLevel=4
  LogFile=/var/log/slurm/slurmdbd.log
  PidFile=/var/run/slurmdbd.pid
  StorageType=accounting_storage/mysql
  StorageHost=localhost
  StoragePass=  < redacted >
  StorageUser=slurm
  StorageLoc=slurm_acct_db


Docs<https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurmdbd.conf.html> state this is a valid option:
AuthType
Define the authentication method for communications between Slurm components. Acceptable values at present include "auth/none" and "auth/munge". The default value is "auth/munge". Do not use "auth/none" if you desire any security.
