Subject: Windows Password Authentication - add works, query fails

Hi

I have been testing password authentication on windows as a prelude to enabling run_as_owner using a credd server.

I can seemingly "add" the pool password OK, but not "query" it.

>condor_store_cred -c add -p thepoolpassword -d
10/18/21 08:23:32 STORE_CRED: In mode 'add'
Account: condor_pool@xxxxxxxx
Operation succeeded.

>condor_store_cred -c query -d
10/18/21 08:28:44 STORE_CRED: In mode 'query'
Account: condor_pool@xxxxxxxx
Operation failed.
    Make sure your ALLOW_WRITE setting includes this host.
10/18/21 08:28:44 Can't find address for schedd WORLAND-KF.xxx.yyy.zz
10/18/21 08:28:44 STORE_CRED: Failed to start command.
10/18/21 08:28:44 STORE_CRED: Unable to contact the REMOTE schedd.

Setting ALL_DEBUG = D_ALL doesn't offer any additional clues. In fact there are no log file entries anywhere
for the failed "query" command.

What I find strange is that adding the pool password also creates corresponding entries in the MasterLog,
as expected, because the condor_master actions this command.

Why is the query option failing and looking for a schedd on an execute node?

Thanks for any help/pointers.

Cheers

Greg
