xrd.protocol directive with v5.1.1-1

[ycalas]

Hi,

With XRootD version <= 4.12.3, the directive xrd.protocol in the configuration file did not trigger an error when cmsd was started. It is no more the case with XRootD 5.1.1-1:

210420 14:51:08 1003972 XrdConfig: the builtin protocol is 'cms' not 'xrootd'; the following protocol directive should be corrected!
------ cmsd grid@.xxxx:1094 initialization failed.

This problem can be solved by adding the if-fi conditional directives, e.g. with:

if exec xrootd
  xrd.protocol xrootd *
fi

I am not sure if this is a bug or if this new behavior is expected though.

Cheers,

Yvan

This is merely an explanation to the previous behaviour. Originally, we would ignore the directive and plow on. Now we tell you that we are ignoring the directive but still plow on.

Well cmsd does not start anymore if the if-fi conditional directives are not used. If you think this is normal behavior, you can close ticket ;)

Thanks for your feedback.

Ah, got it. No, it should likely keep on going and ignore this directive. Could you cut a ticket for this as it's not backwardly compatible behaviour. Andy

Oh never mind, I see you already cut a ticket. So much for my attention span this morning :-(
