Description

19       condor_store_credstores passwords in a secure  manner.  There  are  two
20       separate uses of condor_store_cred:
21
22          1.  A shared pool password is needed in order to implement the PASS‐
23          WORDauthentication method. condor_store_credusing the -coption deals
24          with  the  password  for the implied  condor_pool@$(UID_DOMAIN) user
25          name.
26
27          On a Unix machine, condor_store_credwith the -foption is used to set
28          the  pool password, as needed when used with the PASSWORDauthentica‐
29          tion method. The pool password is placed in a file specified by  the
30          SEC_PASSWORD_FILEconfiguration variable.

34          2.  In  order to submit a job from a Windows platform machine, or to
35          execute  a  job  on  a  Windows  platform  machine   utilizing   the
36          run_as_ownerfunctionality, condor_store_credstores the password of a
37          user/domain pair securely in the Windows registry. Using this stored
38          password,  HTCondor  may  act  on  behalf  of the submitting user to
39          access files, such as writing output or log files. HTCondor is  able
40          to run jobs with the user ID of the submitting user. The password is
41          stored in the same manner as the system does when setting or  chang‐
42          ing account passwords.
43
44       Passwords  are  stashed  in  a  persistent  manner; they are maintained
45       across system reboots.
46
47       The addargument on the Windows platform stores the password securely in
48       the registry. The user is prompted to enter the password twice for con‐
49       firmation, and characters are not echoed. If there is already  a  pass‐
50       word stashed, the old password will be overwritten by the new password.
51
52       The deleteargument deletes the current password, if it exists.
53
54       The queryreports whether the password is stored or not.
