Howto become a member of the VO ILDG

Once you have obtained your certificate you can apply for becoming member of the Virual Organisation ILDG using the VOMS service. Perform the following steps:

• If you received your certificate in PEM format, you will have to convert it into PKCS12 format (it is strongly recommended to use a non-empty export password):

      # cd $HOME/.globus
      # openssl pkcs12 -in usercert.pem -inkey userkey.pem -export -out user.p12
  

• Load the PKCS12 format certificate (e.g. $HOME/.globus/user.p12) into your browser.
• Connect to the ILDG VOMS server https://grid-voms.desy.de:8443/voms/ildg

    • Specify the institution, which refers to your regional grid
    • Select a representative from your regional grid who will decide on your application
    • NOT change Grid job submission rights (keep setting full)
