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  authen-
	  tication 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_own-
	  erfunctionality, condor_store_cred stores the password of a user/domain pair securely in the Windows registry. Using this  stored  pass-
	  word,  Condor  may act on behalf of the submitting user to access files, such as writing output or log files. Condor 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  pass-
       word.

       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.
