Remote User Authentication

Remote User Authentication
Before starting a job, the scheduler authenticates the user who created the job. Because user credentials from
a remote authentication are not retained long enough to support a scheduled job, you must locally configure
the authentication passwords for users who create jobs. These passwords are part of the scheduler configuration
and are not considered a locally configured user.
Before starting the job, the scheduler validates the local password against the password from the remote
authentication server.

Scheduler Log Files

The scheduler maintains a log file that contains the job output. If the size of the job output is greater than the
size of the log file, the output is truncated.

Licensing Requirements for the Scheduler

This feature does not require a license. Any feature not included in a license package is bundled with the Cisco
NX-OS system images and is provided at no extra charge to you. For a complete explanation of the Cisco
NX-OS licensing scheme, see the Cisco NX-OS Licensing Guide.
