Cray Graph Engine (CGE) Security Mechanisms

Overview of CGE's security implementation.

The CGE query engine protects the port on which it communicates with clients using an encrypted authentication mechanism based on the Secure Shell (SSH) passwordless authentication mechanism. Before using the CGE user interface query clients to make requests on data sets, authentication must be configured. If it is required to set up the query engine to permit multiple users to execute requests, it will be required to configure public keys for each user. This can be configured on a per-data set or all data sets basis.
