Re: [Condor-devel] Has Condor considered NSS?



Will you explain the difference to me? I thought delegation means that a restricted certificate is created for the user (restricted in its expiration time), but that delegated certificate still has private bits. The delegated certificate (proxy cert?) is actually transferred via the X509_USER_PROXY attribute in job ads.

Unless I'm mistaken in situations like Condor-C/Condor-G a user's
certificate, or proxy certificate, will actually be transferred (it
contains private bits) between machines. I honestly hope I'm mistaken.
