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

[Jaime Frey <jfrey@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try these steps to get an IDTOKEN for the windows machines:

* 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 doesnât matter.

* Restart the HTCondor daemons on the Windows machines.

You can use the same IDToken for all of the machines.

Hi all,

Iâve been happily running Condor 8.x for some years, to run jobs on a pool of approximately 1k Windows 10 machines and itâs been great.  Many thanks to all involved in this project!

Iâve needed to replace my RHEL7 master with RHEL9 lately though, and while my test Linux execute machine works fine, Iâm having a little trouble getting Condor 23.x to work on my Windows execute machines.  

Iâve followed the install instructions for the various roles at https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-htcondor/admin-quick-start.html#admin-quick-start-guide , with the only variation being that Iâm using the Central Manager machine as the Submit machine as well, by appending 'use role:get_htcondor_submitâ to the 01-central-manager.config file.  My (RHEL9) test âExecuteâ machine works as expected, and I can see it with condor_status etc.

For the Windows execute machine(s), Iâve done a standard install of the .msi file following the instructions at https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-htcondor/install-windows-as-administrator.html#setting-up-a-whole-pool-with-windows , and the install goes fine.  I reboot the machine anyway (because Windows), and the Condor service starts and runs, but Iâm unable to send updates or info to the Central Manager, and my Master log states that I have trouble with IDTOKENS (excerpt pasted below).  This log stanza repeats every 5 minutes or so.

I really have tried to resolve this with information Iâve found on the web and via this group, but Iâve found the info fairly scattered and at times contradictory, and I have to admit this one has defeated me :(.  I feel like Iâm close, and Iâd really like to get this new 23.x pool up and running for our users, but Iâm struggling at the moment.

Can anyone help with this issue please?  If you need any more info or details, please let me know!

Many thanks, Craig
