[Condor-users] condor_g error when globus-job-run works

[Rich Bruin <rbru03@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I'm trying to debug a problem we're having with a submit machine here 
but can't find any help via google / the list archive, so hopefully 
someone here can help!

In short, I can run globus jobs using globus directly (via 
globus-job-run etc) but running condor jobs leads to them quickly going 
held and reporting the following error message (from the job's log file):

Globus job submission failed!
    Reason: 7 authentication failed: GSS Major Status: Authentication 
Failed GSS Minor Status Error Chain:  init.c:499: 
globus_gss_assist_init_sec_context_async: Error during context 
initialization init_sec_context

In more detail, I am submitting via condor_g from a Debian sarge 
installation (2.4.27-2-386 kernel) running globus toolkit 4.0.1 and 
condor version 6.6.10 to any of a few remote resources running various 
versions of Linux and globus toolkits 2.4.3, 3.2.1 and 4.0.1. Simply 
running globus-job-run type commands works fine (directed to both the 
fork and pbs jobmanagers) but any job run via condor_g fails with the 
above error message in the local logs.

The logs on the remote machine read as follows:

Does anyone have any idea what is happening here? I have other machines 
with near enough identical installations and they work fine, it just 
seems to be this one client machine!

Any help you could provide would be much appreciated, thanks in advance,

Rich
