#381: Cannot log in to Kraken using default simfactory configuration ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: mthomas Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: ET_2011_05 Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- SimFactory uses the gsissh method to connect to Kraken. This requires a "proxy" to be created locally via the myproxy-logon command. There is currently logic in Perl simfactory's mdb.pm file to automatically run myproxy-logon and prompt for the passphrase.

This does not work for me. I get the error

Failed to receive credentials. ERROR from myproxy-server (myproxy.teragrid.org): PAM authentication failed: Permission denied

(see below for the full output). If I remove the localsshsetup key, I can run the myproxy-logon command manually and then connect using simfactory.

Looking at the full output below, it seems that it is trying to run myproxy-logon with my local username (ian) instead of the remote one (hinder). If I replace the @USER@ in the myproxy-logon command with my Kraken username, everything works as expected.
