Hi Shiqing,
Thanks again for your quick reply (and George also for the previous reply), I take it that the Windows 32 bit executable on the Open-MPI download site is also built with cmake and suffers the same limitation? Was this intended? Has anyone built a Windows 32 bit executable which supports ssh? If so, was this under Linux or Cygwin? (and how is this achieved?)

James is using a Windows build, which doesn't have the rsh plm module. There are only two plm modules for windows: MCA plm: process (MCA ... MCA plm: ccp (MCA ... I think the binaries built by James contains only the process module, which is internaly using WMI. So there is no way to switch to ssh or rsh, because they are not built. To use ssh, one has to build Open MPI source under Cygwin, using the auto-tools chain (the same as on Linux). Unfortunately, the CMake support in OMPI was only for the native windows build, it won't work under Cygwin. On 2012-02-07 1:51 PM, George Bosilca wrote: Let's try to force the usage of ssh. First try: mpirun --mca plm rsh hostname If not, go in the installation directory and rename lib/openmpi/mca_plm_rsh.* to something without the .la and .so extension. Then re-run the hostname via mpirun. george. On Feb 7, 2012, at 06:32 , James Torossian wrote: Hi Shiqing, I agree. I think that I am somehow using WMI, but this is happening both with the Open-MPI windows binary (OpenMPI_v1.5.4-1_win32.exe) and also with versions of the binaries I built (1.4.3 & 1.5.1 from svn). What do I have to do to get OpenMPI to use ssh instead of WMI. From what I can see of the configuration with ompi_info, the following seems correct: $ ompi_info -all Package: Open MPI hpcfan@VISCLUSTER26 Distribution Open MPI: 1.5.4 Open MPI SVN revision: r25060 Open MPI release date: Aug 18, 2011 Open RTE: 1.5.4 Open RTE SVN revision: r25060 Open RTE release date: Aug 18, 2011 OPAL: 1.5.4 OPAL SVN revision: r25060 OPAL release date: Aug 18, 2011 Ident string: 1.5.4 .. MCA orte: parameter "orte_rsh_agent" (current value: <ssh : rsh>, .. .. MCA plm: parameter "plm_rsh_agent" (current value: <ssh : rsh>, .. .. Is there a cmake configuration option I need to set for a Windows build to use ssh? Is there some environment or package configuration option I need to set? Thanks again for your help, I am keen to know what I am missing.

Did you build Open MPI under Cygwin? Is the ssh module shown up in the ompi_info output? The user credential message looks very familiar to me as it seems from the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) module, where the 'save credential' option has not been implemented.

Check out the OpenSSH config options to see if something fits. I did a quick search and found this, as an example: http://mah.everybody.org/docs/ssh Note the need to run ssh-agent to cache login credentials.
