    Info
    titleImportant - Windows Only

    When a Worker is in User mode, all users wishing to execute jobs on Windows hosts will need to register their passwords with the Supervisor.  If this is not done, jobs will fail with a "badlogin" error.

    Registering a user's Windows password can be done from WranglerView, using the menu item "Administration->Register Windows Password", or by using the qblogin command:

    qblogin [user]

    where user is an optional user name, otherwise the current user is assumed. Qblogin will prompt for a password twice for verification. The encrypted password is stored with the Supervisor, which transmits it to the Worker each time it tries to run a job on a Windows host.

    If a user password is changed, the user will need to run qblogin again to update the password with the Supervisor. If the password turns out to be incorrect, the job will will go into the badlogin state. A job in the badlogin state will need to be resubmitted after the password is updated in the Supervisor. If the enforce_password flag is set in the Supervisor, the user will not be able to submit jobs until the password is updated.

    Image RemovedImage Added

      • proxy_execution_mode to proxy
      • proxy_account to the account to run the jobs as (it is preferable to set this to a network account rather than a local one)
      • proxy_password to the encrypted password for the account. You can type it directly (it is masked as you type) or you can run
          qblogin --display proxy_account
        where proxy_account is the account name, and then enter the encrypted password this prints out.
