Re: [Condor-users] Understanding Credd

["Levi Junkert" <levi.junkert@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am running into a similar situation and I guess I'm just confused on
the logic when CREDD should be used.

1) If I want to submit from Linux->Windows do i need to use credd?
2) If 1 is "YES" then do I HAVE to run the credd server on a windows computer?
3) Can I run a Linux based CREDD server to store the Windows domain credentials?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
