[Condor-users] LocalCredd match is case sensitive

[Alexandre Fayolle <alexandre.fayolle@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I've just spend a few hours debugging why my jobs would no longer run after 
what I thought was a minor rewrite of condor_config.local. It turns out I had 
written 

CREDD_HOST = xs205803.mydomain.com

in the machines of my pool and 

CREDD_HOST = XS205803.mydomain.com 

in the central manager. 

This would cause jobs submitted to have the following requirements (generated 
automatically by Condor):

Requirements = (Arch == "INTEL") && (OpSys == "WINNT52") && (Disk >= 
DiskUsage) && ((Memory * 1024) >= ImageSize) && (HasFileTransfer) && 
(HasWindowsRunAsOwner && (LocalCredd =?= "XS205803.MELINDA.local"))

while the machines in the pool offered a ClassAd with

LocalCredd = "xs205803.MELINDA.local"

Which does not match because =?= is case sentitive. 

Maybe this is well known, but I was caught totally off guard by this (expecting 
a case insensitive match for a computer name). 

What is the procedure to report a bug in Condor? Do I need to sign a 
Contributor Licence Agreement for that (https://condor-
wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/wiki?p=MakingContributions).
