[Condor-users] Antwort: Re: about condor_store_cred add




Hi,Todd
   Thank you for your exciting reply, I am so appreciated.
(!)One additional thing I want to make clear is I am using the run_as_owner = True, did what you said is based on typical situation(run_as_owner = False)?

(2)According to the link you gave me  6.2.3 and 6.2.4 of the Manual, so I should use condor_store_cred -c add? Which means all the machines including submitter and executor need to store the same password? All how can we use the user account(but maybe some submitter user don't have the admin access to central manager or executor)

(3)Actually, mentioned to the 2 PCs last email, after I changed the password, and also I have already use condor_store_cred add in my local PC(submitter), and I also checked the other executor(I have the access too,it is configged to both executor&submitter,but I never use this machine to submit job ), the credential is valid(but I did not use condor_store_cred,I think it fetched password infor from server automatically), however, the job is never executed in this PC, all jobs are in idle...and when I use :
condor_status -f "%st" Name -f "%sn" ifThenElse(isUndefined(LocalCredd),"UNDEF",LocalCredd).  
I found the executor PC is UNDEF
So what's wrong under run_as_owner = True condition? What should I do ? Thank you very much!

Tao

The "-c" option is to set a password used for password-based
authentication of one Condor service to another.  It is not used to
start processes as a submitting user.

A condor administrator who want to setup strong authentication across
Condor installation may use "condor_store_cred -c add" - see
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.2/3_6Security.html#SECTION00463400000000000000

A user simply submitting jobs into Condor should just run
"condor_store_cred add".

Typically uou only need to run condor_store_cred on the submitter.

You will either need to
 1) re-reun condor_store_cred add on each submit host where you have
jobs submitted (no need to worry about submit hosts where you do not
submit jobs from)

or

 2) setup your Condor environment to run the (optional) centralized
condor_credd service.  by running this service, you can run
condor_store_cred once, and all machines in the pool that may need your
credential can securely fetch it as needed.

More info on all of this is in sections 6.2.3 and 6.2.4 of the Manual -
