If the user runs kinit and then submits a new job, the Access Point will have a copy of the new cache. The Access Point will send the new cache to the Execution Points at the start of all new execution attempts.
I thought of that too and tested it by submitting the most simplistic "exit 0" type of shell job (after a kinit). Then the question quickly became how would I make it so that the new job is sent to the same AP? The only option for condor_submit that worked for me was ' -spool cm_node' and that makes it choose one or the other of the APs.
A better question would be: what is the process by which the AP discovers that condor_submit added a new Kerberos cache for a given user? For example if I manage to securely send the new cache to the AP and put it in say... SEC_CREDENTIAL_DIRECTORY or some other magic location (using the format username.cc), will it be picket up and sent tot EXEcs or do I have to send it explicitly via some API call(s) the same way condor_submit does?
