+_condor_annex_ assumes that it is run from a shell with a live HTCondor installation.  In particular, the security configuration should be pool password, more or less as follows:
+
+{verbatim}
+SEC_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION_METHODS = FS, PASSWORD
+SEC_DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION = REQUIRED
+SEC_DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_METHODS = FS, PASSWORD
+SEC_PASSWORD_FILE = $(LOCAL_DIR)/password_file
+ALLOW_WRITE = condor_pool@*/* $(FULL_HOSTNAME) $(IP_ADDRESS)
+{endverbatim}
+
+The manual has information on how to generate 'password_file'.  See
