[HTCondor-users] StartLog: Failed to authenticate

[Justin Killebrew <jk@xxxxxxx>]

condor_who -daemons  on the central manager (also configured as submit role) shows:

Daemon       Alive  PID    PPID   Exit
------       -----  ---    ----   ----
Collector    yes    1608   1494   no
Master       yes    1494   1      no
Negotiator   yes    1609   1494   no
Schedd       yes    1610   1494   no
SharedPort   yes    1607   1494   no

This looks correct but on the execute machine, StartLog has several
ERROR: AUTHENTICATE:1003:Failed to authenticate with any method
and
SECMAN: required authentication with collector failed

The central manager CollectorLog shows similar errors:
DC_AUTHENTICATE: required authentication of 192.168.1.5 failed

The firewall isnât active â Where else should I look?

condor_status returns nothing on the central manager.  Is this because it doesnât see any execute machines?


Thanks,
JK
