[HTCondor-users] SECMAN:2011 Error with condor_status on Windows (condor v24.9.0)

[<aravind.saligram@xxxxxx>]

Hello to all experienced HT Condor users,

 

I am experiencing a persistent issue after installing HTCondor on Windows using the instructions from your official documentation (Install Windows as Administrator). I am using the 24.9.0 snapshot version from the repository.

After installation, when I run condor_status, I receive the following error:

Error: communication error

SECMAN:2011:Connection closed during command authorization. Probably due to an unknown command

 

My local config file was initially empty; after searching through the internet, I found this to be the ideal config, but it does not seem to work:

ALLOW_WRITE = *

ALLOW_READ = *

ALLOW_NEGOTIATOR = *

 

I have followed all the steps in the official guide, including accepting the default access permission settings during installation. Despite this, the error persists, and I am unable to get status information from the pool.

Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue? If you need any additional logs or configuration details, I am happy to provide them.

 

I initially plan to test condor on my laptop and then try extending on my local cluster of standalone windows CPU’s. But somehow, I am stuck at the very basic step.

 

Thank you for your assistance.
