Condor Glide-in Server Setup

condor_glidein is a tool for submitting and executing the Condor daemons on a Globus resource. As long as the daemons continue to run, the remote machine running them appears as part of your Condor pool. Full documentation for condor_glidein may be found in the Condor manual.

Accessing the Glide-in Binaries

condor_glidein needs to download the Condor daemons in order to run them on the remote machine. In versions of condor_glidein from Condor 6.7.1 and on, the default Condor configuration lists two URLs that condor_glidein will attempt to use to download the necessary files:

GLIDEIN_SERVER_URLS = \
  http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/glidein/binaries \
  gsiftp://gridftp.cs.wisc.edu/p/condor/public/binaries/glidein

In versions of Condor before 6.7.1, only gsiftp access to tarballs was supported by condor_glidein, so you either need to copy the tarballs to your own server and change the URL in condor_config, or you need to send a request to condor-admin@cs.wisc.edu to add your X.509 certificate name to the University of Wisconsin gridftp server.

You are free to put the necessary files on your own server instead of relying on the UW server. You may find the tar file(s) that you need here.
