6.4 HTCondor Annex Configuration

While the configuration macros in this section may be set by the HTCondor administrator, they are intended for the user-specific HTCondor configuration file (usually ~/.condor/user_config). Although we document every macro, we expect that users will generally only want to change a few of them, listed in section 6.4.1; the entries required in by condor_annex in other sections will be generated by its setup procedure.

Subsequent sections are for expert users (section 6.4.2 and for HTCondor developers (section 6.4.3).
