condor_ store_cred

securely stash user's password - for Win32 only

Synopsis

condor_ store_cred add | delete

Description

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 when running scheduler universe jobs and DAGMan. 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.

The password is stashed in a persistent manner; it is maintained across system reboots.

Options

add

Store the current user's password in the registry. The user is prompted to enter the password twice for confirmation, and characters are not echoed. If there is already have a password stashed, the old password will be overwritten by the new password.

delete

Delete the current user's stashed password, if it exists.

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.
