[Condor-devel] Condor High availability: CREDD setup

[Alexandre Fayolle <alexandre.fayolle@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear list,

I asked the question yesterday on condor-users[1] and further research showed 
that a similar question asked in July[2] last year received no answer on that 
list, so I'm turning to condor-devel in hope someone here can have an answer 
on this: is there support for the High Availability of the CREDD daemon in 
Condor? There is no mention of CREDD in the manual section pertaining to HA. 

I'm using 7.4, but could upgrade to 7.5 if necessary. 

From reading the source code, I suspect that the answer is 'there is no 
support' (the way the CREDD_HOST variable is used indicates that it does not 
support being set to a list of hosts, which would be a first step towards 
handling failover (in the same vein as the COLLECTOR_HOST variable). 

Are there any recommendation for handling that daemon in the context of HA? 

Thanks in advance for any hint or advice on that matter.
