Synopsis
       condor_store_cred [-help]

       condor_store_credadd[ -c | -u username] [-p password] [-n machinename] [-f filename]

       condor_store_credquery[ -c | -u username] [-n machinename]


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 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_ownerfunctionality,  condor_store_cred  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.

       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 password.

       The deleteargument deletes the current password, if it exists.

       The queryreports whether the password is stored or not.


Options
       -c

          Operations refer to the pool password, as used in the  PASSWORD authentication method.

       -f filename

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

       -help

          Displays a brief summary of command options.

       -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_credwill  exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value
       1 (one) upon failure.
