Re: [Condor-users] Stork installation on our working Condor 6.8: confused about credd / authentication

["François Bachmann" <f.bachmann@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nick 

thanks for getting back to me - the answer to all the certificate questions is "no", as we tried to to authentication via the filesystem (no CA / certification experience in-house). This cluster is not (yet) in the open, so we don't need any strong authentication (yet).
Is that a problem ? 

Looking forward to more voodoo :)

I'm trying to setup some similar tests for myself, but, in the mean time, here
are some general guidelines.

1. Do you have a host certificate for all involved machines, and have them
installed properly?

2. Do you have a user certificate and a valid proxy for it?

3. Do you have the root certificate of the signing authority that signed the
above host and user certificates installed in your "certificates" directory
(usually /etc/grid-security/certificates)?

There's a lot of voodoo to make this all work.
