Getting a CCL Globus Certificate
The CCL uses the Globus software
to create and manage certificates. The software is installed
in AFS for Linux and Solaris machines. wizard is a suitable
place to perform this procedure.
To begin, set up your environment and path as follows:
% setenv GLOBUS_LOCATION /afs/nd.edu/user37/ccl/software/external/globus
% setenv PATH ${GLOBUS_LOCATION}/bin:$PATH
Next, use the grid-cert-request program to generate
a certificate for the CCL to sign:
% grid-cert-request
This program will prompt you for a new password.
Note that this new password will be used to encrypt your certificate.
It is completely separate from your ordinary Unix password.
Next, you will have to mail your newly-generated certificate to the CCL.
Mail the following file to ccl@cse.nd.edu
~/.globus/usercert_request.pem
We may contact you by other means in order to verify that
you are who you claim to be. When your key is signed,
it will be returned to you by email,
and you must save it in the following file:
~/.globus/usercert.pem
Once you have done that, you are ready to use your credentials.
