CRL update routines Installation

This step is generally optional, but recommended. If you specify SECURITY.CRL.REQUIRED 1#1 true in the configuration then this step is mandatory, since the service will not permit authentication without up-to-date CRL lists.

You need to install the routines that automatically reload the Certificate Revocation Lists periodically from the CAs. The routines are in the edg-utils-system RPM.

You should find the correct version of this package according to your system.

For example the file:

http://datagrid.in2p3.fr/distribution/autobuild/
       i386-rh7.3/wp6/RPMS/edg-utils-system-1.5.0-1.noarch.rpm
is the appropriate choice for a Redhat 7.3 x86 Linux system.

The crl update can be run with command

${EDG_LOCATION}/sbin/edg-fetch-crl -o /etc/grid-security/certificates/

The cron job can be set manually using command

crontab -e

and the cron entry for crl update should for example look like:

53 1,7,13,19 * * * /opt/edg/etc/cron/edg-fetch-crl-cron

Make sure your cron is running.
