Re: [HTCondor-users] Error condor_status on Windows htcondor 20.0.12

Hi Leon,

The solution to this issue is to use the anonymous authentication method (sparingly) for the host that needs it (central manager and Windows hosts).

On the Central Manager (host running the Collector) add the following to the configuration:

SEC_READ_AUTHENTICATION_METHODS = $(SEC_DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_METHODS) ANONYMOUS

On the Windows hosts that you want to run condor_status on add the following configuration:

SEC_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION_METHODS = $(SEC_DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_METHODS) ANONYMOUS

If this doesn't work please let us know,

Cole Bollig

Subject: [HTCondor-users] Error condor_status on Windows htcondor 20.0.12

 

I have made an installation of HTCondor 20.0.12 on Linux. Everything works perfectly.

 

The WINDOWS installation is carried out according to the instructions https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-htcondor/install-windows-as-administrator.html.

 

Error after installation:

D:\diagnose>condor_status

Error: communication error

AUTHENTICATE:1003:Failed to authenticate with any method

 

Also Central Manager does not list the new WINDWOS host with condor_status.

 

I found a solution in the mailing list:

Re: [HTCondor-users] Adding Windows machines to pool - IDTOKENS issue

https://www-auth.cs.wisc.edu/lists/htcondor-users/2024-June/msg00089.shtml

 

* On the central manager, generate an IDToken like so:

condor_token_create -identity condor@$(condor_config_val CONDOR_HOST)

The output of the command will be the IDToken.

* On each windows machine, create the directory <RELEASE_DIR>\tokens.d

In that directory, create a file that contains the IDToken from the previous step. The name of the file doesn’t matter.

* Restart the HTCondor daemons on the Windows machines.

 

The Central Manager lists the new WINDWOS and starting jobs on windows.

But Windows still returns the same error

D:\diagnosis>condor_status

Error: communication error

AUTHENTICATE:1003:Failed to authenticate with any method

 

What is the solution to this problem?

 

Thanks for your help in advance

Leon
