[slurm-users] srun: Error generating job credential

Mon Oct 7 06:07:44 UTC 2019

Hi All,

I am currently testing slurm version 19.05.3-2 on Centos 7 with one master
and 3 nodes configuration.
I used the same configuration that works on version 17.02.7 but for some
reasons, it does not work on 19.05.3-2.

$ srun hostname
srun: error: Unable to create step for job 19: Error generating job
credential
srun: Force Terminated job 19

If i run it as root, it works fine.

$ sudo srun hostname
piglet-18

Configuration:
$ cat /etc/slurm/slurm.conf
