FWIW, attached are two sets of configuration files I tried.
The âAnon_Configâ set is the one I tried and failed with yesterday when I wrote.
The âPool_Configâ set is me trying to create a windows Pool. But when I try to register the credentials from the CM using âcondor_store_cred -c -n 192.168.1.2â I get
a security error telling me to check I have ADMINISTRATOR privileges on the target host. I thought thatâs what I did in the config file!
FYI:
- CM/AP/EP is at 192.168.1.2, aliased as âproject1â and has its own windows machine name
- AP/EP is at 192.168.1.1, aliased as âproject2â and has its own windows machine name
(there will be a total o f8 AP/EP machines âprojectNâ with Ips 192.168.1.N, but for now, just trying to get this to work on 2 machines )
They all have the same admin account username âadm-projectâ with the same password.
Non centralized AD server with domain accounts available, each machine manages its own local users.
I just want this to work, regardless of authentication. It is a completely autonomous setup, not connected to any network in any way.
Thanks again for any insight you may have.

Sorry about that, I wrote the mail from memory because the machine with the logs does not have internet access.
The exact message is âSetEffectiveOwner security violation: attempting to set owner to dis-allowed value <username@submittingmachine>â
Hereâs the scheduler log attached.
Thank you!

Could you give us a little more information?
What version of HTCondor are you using.
Could you cut and paste about 20 lines before the failure message?
de-authorized does not appear anywhere in the current code base. Is this a typo?

Hello all,
We are running a trial setup between individual Windows machines that each only have local users and no domain authentication. (If it helps, they have the same username
account with the same password).
I cannot seem to find a way to allow condor to correctly authenticate and run jobs. Ikeep getting a security error in the SchedLog: âSeteffectiveowner security violation
setting user to de-authorized user <username@submittingmachine>â
I activated HOST_BASED security and used ALLOW_* variables to only allow hosts in the same subnet like this (as taken from the Host
Based Security web page):
ALLOW_READ = 192.168.1.*
ALLOW_WRITE = 192.168.1.*
ALLOW_NEGOTIATOR = 192.168.1.*
ALLOW_NEGOTIATOR_SCHEDD = 192.168.1.*
ALLOW_WRITE_COLLECTOR = 192.168.1.*
ALLOW_WRITE_STARTD = 192.168.1.*
ALLOW_READ_COLLECTOR = 192.168.1.*
ALLOW_READ_STARTD = 192.168.1.*
ALLOW_CLIENT = 192.168.1.*
But it doesnât seem to suffice.
RUN_AS_USER is deactivated in both the condor and job configurations.
Can anyone help with this issue?
Thank you!
