Last modified: 11 Feb 2024, 8:41:24 UTC I set to NNT, no point to hammer the server for no work. Maybe it will be back on Monday you say it! Still, the automatic stop of tasks submission does not work, and from what the server status page tells us: 13.565 tasks are "in process", none of them being of any value for the science, due to lack of credentials and jobs :-( What a waste :-( ID: 49513 · Reply Quote

If so, how would one go about this in Linux? ID: 49515 · Reply Quote

Last modified: 11 Feb 2024, 9:59:47 UTC Can this problem with getting a proxy credential from LHC be avoided by installing a local proxy server? obviously not; I am using a local proxy, but I experience the credential problem, too. As the log shows, the credential is requested directly from LHC&home(-dev) (1648): Guest Log: [INFO] Requesting an X509 credential from LHC@home (1648): Guest Log: [INFO] Requesting an X509 credential from vLHC@home-dev ID: 49516 · Reply Quote

Can this problem with getting a proxy credential from LHC be avoided by installing a local proxy server? No. The term "proxy" does not mean "HTTP proxy" in this context. The error is caused by an essential CERN service not responding (a couple of times until the client gives up). There's nothing that could be done on the client side.

Can this problem with getting a proxy credential from LHC be avoided by installing a local proxy server? If so, how would one go about this in Linux? In this case, the two meanings of the word "proxy" are quite different. The proxy credential is an authorisation to connect to the service; the (squid) proxy server is a caching server that saves requested files so that they don't need to be transported again if re-requested.
