### 5.6.6. Specifying Job Management Preferences

EKM uses Remote Solve Manager (RSM) for job management. By default, RSM uses your EKM sign-in credentials for job submission. EKM's Job Management preferences enable you to override the credentials that are used for RSM services and Cluster Configurations.

If you specify credential overrides for RSM services, those credentials will be used for cluster job submission unless you specify credential overrides for the Cluster Configuration on which a job is running.

In this section:

- Specifying Credential Overrides for Cluster Configurations
- Specifying Credential Overrides for RSM Services

Important: If you are specifying credential overrides for both RSM services and Cluster Configurations, make sure that you follow these steps in the order shown:

1. Specify credential overrides for RSM services.

2. Click OK to save the settings.

3. Launch the Settings dialog box again.

4. Specify credential overrides for Cluster Configurations.

This ensures that RSM associates the correct RSM service credentials with the Cluster Configuration overrides.

#### 5.6.6.1. Specifying Credential Overrides for Cluster Configurations

By default, RSM uses your EKM sign-in credentials (or credential overrides for RSM services, if specified) to submit jobs to a cluster. If different credentials are required to access a cluster, you can specify credential overrides in your EKM preferences. You can specify credential overrides for each Cluster Configuration that is defined in RSM.

To add credential overrides for a Cluster Configuration:

1. Click the user profile drop box on the title bar and select Settings.

2. In the Settings dialog box, select the Preferences tab.

3. In the navigation pane, select Job Management.

4. To add a credential override for a Cluster Configuration, click .

5. Specify the Username and Password to be used for the override.

6. Enable the check boxes of the Cluster Configurations to which the override applies. The queues for each Cluster Configuration are shown in parentheses.

7. Click OK. The credential overrides are saved to RSM immediately.

To edit or remove credential overrides for a Cluster Configuration, use the actions in the Actions column:

#### 5.6.6.2. Specifying Credential Overrides for RSM Services

By default, RSM uses your EKM sign-in credentials to launch RSM services. If required, you can specify credential overrides for RSM services by following the steps below.

1. Click the user profile drop box on the title bar and select Settings.

2. In the Settings dialog box, select the Preferences tab.

3. In the navigation pane, select Job Management.
