What "globus server" are we talking about here?

It's possible that the server is setup using a different environment than you're using. How is the server being started? Is X509_CERT_DIR being set? Do you have a ~/.globus/cog.properties file? Are the contents of /etc/grid-security/certificates different on the machines? Do you have a ~/.globus/certificates directory on either machine?

The fundamentals of how the CA certs are found is at

There is some troubleshooting help at

Hello list,

I've got a little problem with my certificates. While trying to send a request to a globus server, I got this error message:
Error: cannot connect to host "ingrid". Reason:
 ; nested exception is:
org.globus.common.ChainedIOException: Authentication failed [Caused by: Failure unspecified at GSS-API level [Caused by: Unknown CA]] But.. What is the reason? I made a valid grid-proxy-init -debug - verify... well done! Same at the server... Credentials OK!
Afterwards I sent a text file via globus-url-copy
globus-url-copy file:/home/fabian/malschauen.txt 
gsiftp://ingrid/export/fabian/bliblablubbdiblubb.txt
.. works!
Then I made a md5sum on each file in /etc/grid-security/ certificates/. Looks like the server's files and the files on my local machine are exactly the same. The grid-mapfile is also OK.

A few weeks ago it still worked... :-|

Hoping for helpful hints!!
Thanks! :-)

Fabian
