Hi,
 Please follow the steps below to install the new debug module and collect the traces.

# Download the debug module (zip file contains smpd.exe and mpiexec.exe)
from the link below,

http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/downloads/tarballs/nightly/temp/Leonard_x64_dbg_mod_0729.zip

# Stop any instances of smpd running in your system (Type "smpd -stop" from
an admin command prompt)
# Take a backup of your smpd.exe and mpiexec.exe in your MPICH2\bin
directory (eg: copy c:\progra~1\mpich2\bin\smpd.exe
c:\progra~1\mpich2\bin\smpd_orig.exe; copy
c:\progra~1\mpich2\bin\mpiexec.exe c:\progra~1\mpich2\bin\mpiexec_orig.exe)
# Copy smpd.exe and mpiexec.exe from the zip file above to MPICH2\bin
directory.
# Start smpd (Type "smpd -start" from an admin command prompt)
# Start smpd tracing (Type "smpd -traceon c:\smpd_trace.log" from an admin
command prompt)
# Remove the default username/password registered with job launcher (Type
"mpiexec -remove" from the admin command prompt)
# Register user "Schwer" (without domainname) with the job launcher (Type
"mpiexec -register" and register user "Schwer" WITHOUT any domainname)
# Run your MPI job (mpiexec -n 2 hostname)
# Remove the default username/password registered with job launcher (Type
"mpiexec -remove" from the admin command prompt)
# Register user "SECS8\Schwer" (with domainname) with the job launcher (Type
"mpiexec -register" and register user "SECS8\Schwer" i.e., WITH domainname)
# Run your MPI job (mpiexec -n 2 hostname)
# Turn off the smpd tracing (Type "smpd -traceoff" at the command prompt)
# Provide us the smpd trace (smpd_trace.log) and the mpiexec outputs on the
screen(stdout).

Regards,
Jayesh

Yes, I am still using the debug modulus for smpd and mpiexec.

Thanks Jayesh.

Hi,
 That is exactly what I wanted you to try (Assuming you followed the steps with the smpd/mpiexec from the debug module). Let me create another debug module that will capture the job auth status (From our discussion I assumed that "-validate" would fail for atleast one of the username combinations - However it looks like "-validate" succeeds for both the username combinations) and get back to you.

Jayesh

Hi,
 From the trace outputs the "-validate" commands succeeded for both
usernames (with/without domainname).
 Can you try if you are able to run your MPI job with the debug module
(mpiexec -n 2 hostname) with and without trace enabled for SMPD ?

Jayesh

Hi,
 I have a debug module for you to try on (It prints the error code when
logon fails for validate command - it should have been printed in the trace
but unfortunately it is not). Please follow the steps below to install the
module and provide us with the test results,

Hi Jayesh --

The user SECS8/Schwer has a password, i.e. it is not empty/blank.

Hi,
 From the trace logs I can see that user impersonation is failing for user
"SECS8\Schwer". Do you have a non-empty password for the user ?

Hi,
 Can you re-run the smpd traces (smpd -traceon/traceoff) after registering
(mpiexec -remove/register) "SECS8\Schwer" as the user (Make sure that you
spell the username with the correct letter case)?

Hi,
 From the logs it looks like you are able to run your job when smpd is
running in debug mode.
 Try re-running smpd in debug mode with no debug output (Type "smpd -d 0")
in one admin command prompt and running mpiexec in non-verbose mode from
another admin command prompt (mpiexec -n 2 hostname).
 Let us know the results.

Hi,
 When running in debug mode smpd prints debug statements to stdout. It will
not terminate on its own. Please follow the steps in my email (Start smpd in
debug mode in one window and open another admin command prompt to run
mpiexec).

It seems smpd never returns a command prompt. I had to kill the process

Hi,
 Can you try explicitly specifying the host by its ipaddress and see if it
works (mpiexec -n 2 -machinefile mf.txt hostname; where the file mf.txt
contains the ipaddress of the local host)?
 As I mentioned before, did you install MPICH2 for "All users" (During
installation MPICH2 installer requests for this information - the default is
"Just me") ?

Jayesh

I did not change any default setting during the install. I do not know what
the possible setting are and I showed the install command line in the
previous email.

I created a new admin account XYZ, logged in to that account, and opened a
command window as administrator. The same credentials rejection results:

Hi,
 Did you change any of the default settings when you installed MPICH2 ?
 Can you try creating a different (different from "Schwer") local admin user
and running your MPI job as that user (register/validate/mpiexec)?

1. I did not install the 32 bit MPICH2 on the target 64 bit Windows Vista &
7 machines. I only mentioned I installed the 32 bit version on a Windows XP
box just to indicate I could successfully install the program on some PC.

2. I uninstalled MPICH2 on the target 64 bit Windows Vista machine and
attempted the install as you kindly described. The install was successful.
NOTE: the file name on my installer package is slightly different:
   mpich2-1.2.1p1-win-x86-64.msi        "1.2.1p1"



Below is the series of commands issued to install, register, and validate
MPICH2 and the corresponding rejection of credentials:

C:\Windows\system32>f:

F:\>cd F:\LS-DYNA\MPICH2

Hi,

# Did you uninstall the 32-bit version of MPICH2 before installing the
64-bit version (Currently you cannot have multiple versions of MPICH2
installed on the same system)?
# Did you launch the MPICH2 installer from an administrator command prompt
using the msiexec utility (Right-click on the command prompt icon and select
"Run as administrator" . From the administrator command prompt type "msiexec
/i mpich2-1.2.1-win-x86-64.msi" to install MPICH2)? If not, uninstall MPICH2
and install following the steps above.

Regards,
Jayesh

Thanks Jayesh.

I am administrator on SECS8.

Frankly I can't recall if the install was all users, but I have the ONLY
account on this PC.

Also, all commands listed below were entered in a Command Window launched as
administrator.

Hi,
 Are you an administrator on the machine (SECS8)? Did you install MPICH2 for
"All users" (During installation MPICH2 installer requests for this
information - the default is "Just me") ?

Jayesh

Hi,
 Try just registering "Schwer" (instead of "SECS8\Schwer") and see if it
works ("validate" should pass).

Jayesh

Thanks again Jayesh for the reply.

I attempted your suggestion to -validate and this failed:


C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -remove
DeleteCurrentPasswordRegistryEntry:RegDeleteValue(password) failed, error: 6
ERROR: Unable to remove the encrypted password.

C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -register
account (domain\user) [SECS8\Schwer]:
password:
confirm password:
Password encrypted into the Registry.

C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -validate
FAIL

C:\Windows\system32>hostname
SECS8


I *think* SECS8 is both the hostname and computer name, but is at least the
hostname.

Hi,
 After registering your username try validating the username/password with
the "-validate" option and provide us with the results.
 Is "SECS8" the domain name or the computer name (Type "hostname" at the
command prompt) ?

Regards,
Jayesh

Thanks Jayesh for the response.

I have installed the 64-bit version of MPICH2 on the Windows Vista & 7
boxes.

Yes "Schwer" is a user on domain "SECS8," with admin privileges. 

I believe I demonstrated in my original email the your suggestions, re:
-remove & -register. Also, accepting the offered domain/username via hitting
a return and then supplying the password.

Thanks again for your offered suggestions.		--len

Hi,
 If you are installing MPICH2 on a 64-bit machine we recommend that you
install the 64-bit version of MPICH2
(http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/downloads/index.php?s=downl
oads). Try if it works.
 From the error message, It looks like the username/password combination is
not valid.
 Is "Schwer" a domain user (on domain SECS8)? Try accepting the default
username (Press Enter key when prompted for the username with the
"-register" option) and provide the password when prompted and see if it
works.
 Let us know the results.

Regards,
Jayesh

Hello --

I have a successful Windows XP 32 bit install of MPICH2.

I have attempted installs on two other boxes: Windows Vista and Windows 7,
both 64 bit. As far as I can tell the install went well.

My problem is getting either install to recognize my username/password.

Below is a command window session where the command window was launched
using "Run as Administrator"


C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -remove
Account and password removed from the Registry.

C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -register
account (domain\user) [SECS8\Schwer]:
password:
confirm password:
Password encrypted into the Registry.

C:\Windows\system32>mpiexec -n 1 hostname
Credentials for SECS8\Schwer rejected connecting to SECS8
Aborting: Unable to connect to SECS8

Any suggestions or pointers?

Thanks,	--len
