Description
On a Windows machine, condor_store_cred stores the password of a
user/domain pair securely in the Windows registry. Using this stored
password, Condor is able to run jobs with the user ID of the submitting
user. In addition, Condor uses this password to acquire the submitting
user’s credentials when writing output or log files. The password is
stored in the same manner as the system does when setting or changing
account passwords. When condor_store_cred is invoked, it contacts the
condor_schedd daemon to carry out the requested operations on behalf of
the user. This is necessary since registry keys are accessible only by
the Windows SYSTEM account, not by administrators or other users.
On a Unix machine, condor_store_cred is used to manage the pool
password, placed in a file specified by the
SEC_PASSWORD_FILEconfiguration variable, and for use in password
authentication among Condor daemons.
The password is stashed in a persistent manner; it is maintained across
system reboots.
The add argument stores the current user’s password securely in the
registry. The user is prompted to enter the password twice for
confirmation, and characters are not echoed. If there is already a
password stashed, the old password will be overwritten by the new
password.
The delete deletes the current password, if it exists.
The query reports whether the password is stored or not.
Options
-c
Apply the option to the pool password.
-f filename
For Unix machines only, generates a pool password file named
filename that may be used with the PASSWORD authentication method.
-help
Displays a brief summary of command options.
-n machinename
Apply the command on the given machine.
-p password
Stores given password, rather than prompting.
-u username
Specify the user name.
Exit Status
condor_store_cred will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon
success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
