DESCRIPTION

22       condor_store_cred stores passwords in a secure manner.  There  are  two
23       separate uses of condor_store_cred:
24
25       1. A  shared pool password is needed in order to implement the PASSWORD
26          authentication method. condor_store_cred using the -c  option  deals
27          with  the  password  for  the implied condor_pool@$(UID_DOMAIN) user
28          name.
29
30          On a Unix machine, condor_store_cred with the -f option is  used  to
31          set the pool password, as needed when used with the PASSWORD authen‐
32          tication method. The pool password is placed in a file specified  by
33          the SEC_PASSWORD_FILE configuration variable.
34
35       2. In order to submit a job from a Windows platform machine, or to exe‐
36          cute a job on a Windows platform machine utilizing the  run_as_owner
37          functionality,  condor_store_cred  stores the password of a user/do‐
38          main pair securely in the Windows registry. Using this stored  pass‐
39          word,  HTCondor  may  act on behalf of the submitting user to access
40          files, such as writing output or log files. HTCondor is able to  run
41          jobs with the user ID of the submitting user. The password is stored
42          in the same manner as the system does when setting or  changing  ac‐
43          count passwords.
44
45       Passwords  are  stashed  in  a  persistent  manner; they are maintained
46       across system reboots.
47
48       The add argument on the Windows platform stores the  password  securely
49       in  the  registry. The user is prompted to enter the password twice for
50       confirmation, and characters are not echoed.  If  there  is  already  a
51       password stashed, the old password will be overwritten by the new pass‐
52       word.
53
54       The delete argument deletes the current password, if it exists.
55
56       The query reports whether the password is stored or not.
57

OPTIONS

59          -c     Operations refer to the pool password, as used in  the  PASS‐
60                 WORD authentication method.
61
62          -f filename
63                 For  Unix machines only, generates a pool password file named
64                 filename that may be used with  the  PASSWORD  authentication
65                 method.
66
67          -help  Displays a brief summary of command options.
68
69          -n machinename
70                 Apply the command on the given machine.
71
72          -p password
73                 Stores  password,  rather  than prompting the user to enter a
74                 password.
75
76          -u username
77                 Specify the user name.
