When I click on the "Configure Xgrid Service..." button in the Xgrid
action of Server Admin, I am greeted with the "Service Configuration
Assistant - Xgrid Servce: Introduction" screen.
It says:
"This assistant will guide you through setting up your server to host
a grid or join an existing grid. Hosting a grid means that you will be
setting up a controller and an agent on this server. A network
filesystem will also be configured. Joining a grid means that an agent
will be set up on this server and bound to an existing controller.
Before this assistant proceeds your server must have access to a
directory system that provides Kerberos services.
Click Continue to verify that your directory settings are configured
correctly."
When I click the "Continue" button, I am prompted with a screen that
lets me choose between "Host a grid" and "Join a grid". This all seems
fairly straightforward. However, once I proceed past that step and
onto the "Xgrid Service: Authentication" screen, I see the following:
"Please enter a directory administrator username and password for the
following directory: (in my case, /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1) If you would like
to configure the network filesystem later you may leave the username
and password blank."
Perhaps the last sentence for that is a hint. However, I very much
want to know what those credentials are used for. If I'm using Active
Directory instead of Open Directory, what happens? Is the Xgrid wizard
going to create accounts on my Domain Controllers? Or even setup file
shares for itself? Or is it merely doing some sanity checks?
Does anyone know? Thanks in advance!
Chris
