Well, I've run into another brick wall, and need another clue or two. After progressing through the SimpleCA instructions, the step 5 verification succeeds (as globus user, gridtest):    grid-proxy-init -debug -verify Which comes back with the successful output and asks for the pass phrase, so

Hi Stu, I don't know how feasible this is, but I have found the best way to get accurate documentation is to hand your final draft to an average expected audience member, and then look over their shoulder while they go through it, taking notes on what trips them up. It really brings to light t

Thanks John, Looks like we both had the same thought because that is what I've been doing too.   Your advice was right on and I'm making a bit of progress. This may work yet. You'll notice this reply is not the same as the one I accidentally sent to just you, because I found a few errors in th

Hi John, You are the second person to mention this, and this sounds like just what I need. I'll report back on my progress. You bring up an interesting point regarding the globus user. According to the Simple CA instructions, I should create a "...generic globus account, which will be used

Hello, I did try to follow the instructions given in the Globus Toolkit documentation web page but I found a couple of gaps that mislead the deployment of basic grid services (simpleCA + gram5 + gridftp), e.g. - The documentation does not mention that the grid-ca-certs package should be ins

Hi Melvin, Days ago I experimented the same issue that you are facing now and I think that the problem is on the Globus Toolkit documentation. Here is how I fixed 1. Be sure to run the grid-ca-create command as globus user 2. This command creates a directory in the globus's home directory (

I think you might need to run grid-default-ca to choose which CA to use for certificate requests. For the hostname, use the machine's fully-qualified name. Joe On Oct 17, 2012, at 9:25 AM, gridftp user wrote: > > According to the instructions for setting up the Simple CA > (http://globus.or

According to the instructions for setting up the Simple CA (http://globus.org/toolkit/docs/5.2/5.2.2/admin/install/appendix.html#gtadmin-simpleca), I need to request a host certificate by running:    sudo grid-cert-request -host 'hostname'   It would have been really nice if the next line explai
