WP5: GridLab Testbed: Account Setup
Information needed by sites to setup an account
First, the new user needs a digital certificate signed by one
of trusted CAs, which are listed in Testbed Certification Authorities document. Note that certificates signed by Globus CA are not valid.
Second, the new user must be accepted by at least one of the participating sites, which need additional information:
MU, Brno, Czech Republic:
First name, Last name, organization,
e-mail, phone, postal address
and to sign documents
meta_prohl.en.pdf and
eru_enduse.pdf
VU, Amsterdam, The Netherlands:
We would like these as well, but in addition
we would like a reference to a known GridLab participant,
typically from the local institute, who can vouch for the new user.
We then have some way to check the validity of requests.
AEI, Golm/Potsdam, Germany
The same information and to sign declaration.ps
ZIB, Berlin, Germany
- for kiwi, onyx1 and onyx3, we want to follow the
rules of the VU Amsterdam
- for the HLRN, our big iron, we need to apply for
resources dedicated for gridlab. The machine is
new, the application process is not yet in place.
We will do that early next year.
If we got the CPU hours, each user needs to sign
some paper to get an account.
Also, ZIB will not give accounts to some arbitrary
large amount of GridLab members, but only to those
who have an specific issue to work on this machine,
and for demonstrations etc.
LRZ, Munich, Germany
At LRZ, you need to apply for a regular account on the SR8000. This can be done via a web form. Only researchers in GERMANY can get an account (or they have to collaborate with a German university).
The best way to go is to ask your German collaborators (i.e., AEI) to give you an account on the SR8000. They can then add you to their "official project" at LRZ.
As far as LRZ is concerned, AEI is then responsible for everything the account holder does and consumed computer time is deducted from their project allocation!
After an account has been granted, you have to contact heller@lrz.de and he will enter your DN into their grid-mapfile.
ISUFI/HPCC, Lecce, Italy:
Send a fax to +39 0832 320279 attention to the director Giovanni Aloisio
and describe why you need an account.
PSNC, Poznan, Poland:
First name, Last name, organization,
e-mail, phone, postal address
Nothing to sign
IMI, Politechnika Czestochowska, Czestochowa, Poland:
For testbed purposes we accept everyone in the gridlab mapfile.
SZTAKI, Budapest, Hungary:
First name, Last name, organization,
e-mail, phone, postal address
and a reference to the administrator of the machine, from which the user
wishes to connect. This must be one of the machines in testbed. We need
this information so we can open the firewall from that direction.
