GLITE Tutorial

4. Generate a Grid Proxy Credential

Ask the Virtual Organization Management System (VOMS) to generate a grid proxy credential.

Perform the following command each time before you start working in the grid:

  voms-proxy-init -voms gilda

With a grid proxy credential, you can access gLite services in the GILDA testbed.

You may also perform the following commands:

Destroy the proxy credential after you have finished your work:
```
  voms-proxy-destroy 
```
Print information about an existing proxy:
```
  voms-proxy-info -all
```

If voms-proxy-info returns the message

WARNING: Unable to verify signature! Server certificate possibly not installed.

update the package lcg-voms-vo-gilda-1.0-2.noarch by executing

  su - root
  Password: gildaadm
  $ wget http://grid018.ct.infn.it/rep/gilda_app-i386/RPMS.app/lcg-voms-vo-gilda-1.0-2.noarch.rpm 
  $ rpm -Uvh lcg-voms-vo-gilda-1.0-2.noarch.rpm

This completes the description of how to access the GILDA testbed.
