Re: [Condor-users] GSI X509 support in 7.4.1 on WinXP

[Rob de Graaf <r.degraaf@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Followup:

I just reconfigured an XP client to force GSI authentication only:

SEC_DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION = REQUIRED
SEC_DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_METHODS = GSI

And got:

AUTHENTICATE: unsupported method: 32, failing.

Seems GSI is not included in the Windows build, so the question becomes: 
can I recompile and enable it? Or does it simply not exist? I found some 
threads from 2004 saying there is no GSI for Windows so Condor can not 
support it. Is that still the case?

Thanks!
