Logoff URL Improvements

There are two scenarios that don't seem to be currently supported in relation to the logoff URL that would be very beneficial. If a session times out due to inactivity, it doesn't appear to redirect to the logoff URL, if configured, which can lead...

Implement a relying-party backchannel logout URL to allow for Single Signout.

When integrating Cognos elements into a portal, secured against OIDC namespace, it would be helpful if we could employ token-based single-signout from our OIDC provider, rather than having to force the users to log-out manually from Cognos Analyti...

Please provide a bresources option where we can find the default reservation unit per defined resource: job, task, host

Users are using smartcard login to CA. This means no username and pwd are stored in AD. Currently scheduling in CA requires saved credentials (username/pwd). On top of that the system is configured with kerberos constrained delegation. A solution ...

Please log the number of bwaits processed per minute in "badmin perfmon view" and the current number of bwait's queued in "badmin show status"

Currently, we can see the number of total bwaits that have gone into the system since we have command debug logging enabled, but we have no easy way to know how many wait's are queued up or what the throughput of bwait commands are. We would use t...

Allow Flagging Jobs for Reservation Through Rules and/or Through a "bsub --plan" Option

Today, reservations in LSF are handled by the Top X jobs by ordered by Dynamic Priority using the variable MAX_JOB_RESERVE. We believe that this is a shotgun approach. We have millions of jobs a day that require 1 cores and less than 1GB of memory...
