NAME

       condor_store_cred - HTCondor Manual

       securely stash a credential

SYNOPSIS

       condor_store_cred -h

       condor_store_cred action [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       condor_store_cred stores credentials in a secure manner.  There are three actions, each of
       which can optionally be followed by a hyphen and one of three types.

       The actions are:

          add[-type]
                 Add credential to secure storage

          delete[-type]
                 Remove credential from secure storage

          query[-type]
                 Check if a credential has been stored

       The types are:

          -pwd   Credential is a password (default)

          -krb   Credential is a Kerberos/AFS token

          -oauth Credential is Scitoken or Oauth2 token

       Credentials are stashed in a persistent manner; they are maintained across system reboots.
       When  adding  a  credential,  if there is already a credential stashed, the old credential
       will be overwritten by the new one.

       There are two separate uses of the password actions of condor_store_cred:

       1. A shared pool password is needed in order  to  implement  the  PASSWORD  authentication
          method.  condor_store_cred  using the -c option deals with the password for the implied
          condor_pool@$(UID_DOMAIN) user name.

          On a Unix machine, condor_store_cred add[-pwd] with the -f option is used  to  set  the
          pool  password,  as  needed when used with the PASSWORD authentication 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_owner functionality, condor_store_cred
          add[-pwd] stores the password of a user/domain pair securely in the  Windows  registry.
          Using this stored password, HTCondor may act on behalf of the submitting user to access
          files, such as writing output or log files. HTCondor 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.

       Unless the -p argument is used with the add or add-pwd action, the  user  is  prompted  to
       enter the password twice for confirmation, and characters are not echoed.

       The  add-krb and add-oauth actions must be used with the -i argument to specify a filename
       to read from.

       The -oauth actions require a -s service name argument.  The -S and -A options may be  used
       with  add-oauth  to  add  scopes and/or audience to the credentials or with query-oauth to
       make sure that the scopes or audience match the previously stored credentials.  If  either
       -S or -A are used then the credentials must be in JSON format.

OPTIONS

          -h     Displays a brief summary of command options.

          -c     [-pwd]   actions   refer   to  the  pool  password,  as  used  in  the  PASSWORD
                 authentication method.

          -f filename
                 For Unix machines only, generates a pool password file named filename  that  may
                 be used with the PASSWORD authentication method.

          -i filename
                 Read credential from filename.  If filename is -, read from stdin.  Required for
                 add-krb and add-oauth.

          -s service
                 The Oauth2 service.  Required for all -oauth actions.

          -H handle
                 Specify a handle for the given OAuth2 service.

          -S scopes
                 Optional comma-separated list of scopes to request  for  add-oauth  action.   If
                 used with the query-oauth action, makes sure that the same scopes were requested
                 in the original credential.  Requires credentials to be in JSON format.

          -A audience
                 Optional audience to request for add-oauth action.  If used with the query-oauth
                 action,  makes  sure  that  the  same  audience  was  requested  in the original
                 credential.  Requires credentials to be in JSON format.

          -n machinename
                 Apply the command on the given machine.

          -p password
                 Stores password, rather than prompting the user to enter a password.

          -u username
                 Specify the user name.

EXIT STATUS

       condor_store_cred will exit with a  status  value  of  0  (zero)  upon  success.   If  the
       query-oauth   action   finds  a  credential  but  the  scopes  or  audience  don't  match,
       condor_store_cred will exit with a status value 2 (two).  Otherwise, it will exit with the
       value 1 (one) upon failure.
