Quick Start and Simple How To

In this section we give a few practical examples that can be directly applied to the EDG testbed. We assume that the user has a valid Grid proxy certificate.

Since all replication tools use the Grid security infrastructure, we first need to make sure that we have a valid user proxy. To check this, use the following command:

[hst@testbed010] grid-proxy-info -all
subject  : /O=Grid/O=CERN/OU=cern.ch/CN=Heinz Stockinger/CN=proxy
issuer   : /O=Grid/O=CERN/OU=cern.ch/CN=Heinz Stockinger
type     : full
strength : 512 bits
timeleft : 11:59:45

In case the user proxy is not available or has expired, renew it by issuing

[hst@testbed010] grid-proxy-init 
Your identity: /O=Grid/O=CERN/OU=cern.ch/CN=Heinz Stockinger
Enter GRID pass phrase for this identity:
Creating proxy ................................................... Done
Your proxy is valid until Sat Oct 19 04:44:30 2002
