End-user tutorial at IHEP, Beijing (China), November 2013

The information below is intended to the individuals who registered for participating on the tutorial scheduled at IHEP computing center from Nov. 13th to 15th, 2013.

Agenda

The detailed agenda of the tutorial is at https://indico.in2p3.fr/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=9051.

What to prepare for the tutorial

  1. Bring your own computer

    You are required to bring your own personal computer in order to do the exercises. You will be provided wireless access to the network, so make sure your computer have a wireless network card.

  2. Get your user credentials ready

    DIRAC uses X509 certificates to identify and authenticate users. These certificates are delivered to each individual by trusted certification authorities.

    If you have a personal certificate issued by a EUGridPMA-certified authority you can use it for this tutorial. Otherwise, IHEP certification authority can deliver one for you. Click on the link Online for User Request in this page and follow the instructions. Your certificate may take a few days to be delivered, so please ask for your certificate well in advance and in any case, before the tutorial starts.

  3. Install your credentials

    Your personal certificate is usually delivered to you via a web site and is automatically loaded in your browser. You need to export it from the browser and put it in the appropriate format for DIRAC to use. Here is how you do that:

    3.1 Export your certificate to a file: if you are using Internet Explorer (Windows), please follow these instructions to export your certificate to a file called MyCertificate.

    3.2 Convert and install your certificate in the location expected by DIRAC

  4. Send your certificate DN to the tutorial organizers

    Before the tutorial starts, the organizers need to configure the DIRAC server so that you get registered as a user. In order to do that, they need to know your certificate's distinguished name. Please use the command below on any Unix machine and send its output to the tutorial organizers:

openssl x509 -in $HOME/.globus/usercert.pem -subject -noout
