Re: [HTCondor-users] mapfile, passing variables

[Jaime Frey <jfrey@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The mapfile is how you tell HTCondor what user each SSL certificate should be mapped to. It can't define a $REMOTE_USER variable, as it doesnât have any information to determine a value.

You will probably have to add an entry in the mapfile for each userâs SSL certificate, providing the os account that certificate should be mapped to. Hereâs an example:

SSL "/DC=ch/DC=cern/OU=Organic Units/OU=Users/CN=jafrey/CN=647245/CN=James Freyâ jfrey

If your usersâ SSL DNs contain the os account name (e.g. if the DN include the userâs email address for your organization), you can use regular expression rules to extract that and derive the os account name.
