Description
condor_store_credstores passwords in a secure manner. There are two separate uses of condor_store_cred:
1. A shared pool password is needed in order to implement the PASSWORD authentication method. condor_store_cred using the -coption
deals with the password for the implied condor_pool@$(UID_DOMAIN) user name.
On a Unix machine, condor_store_cred with the -foption is used to set the pool password, as needed when used with the PASSWORD authen-
tication method. The pool password is placed in a file specified by the SEC_PASSWORD_FILE configuration variable.
2. In order to submit a job from a Windows platform machine, or to execute a job on a Windows platform machine utilizing the run_as_own-
erfunctionality, condor_store_cred stores the password of a user/domain pair securely in the Windows registry. Using this stored pass-
word, Condor may act on behalf of the submitting user to access files, such as writing output or log files. Condor is able to run jobs
with the user ID of the submitting user. The password is stored in the same manner as the system does when setting or changing account
passwords.
Passwords are stashed in a persistent manner; they are maintained across system reboots.
The addargument on the Windows platform stores the 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 pass-
word.
The deleteargument deletes the current password, if it exists.
The queryreports whether the password is stored or not.
Options
-c
