Bring your own computer

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.

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

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. In order to retrieve it, please use the command below on any Unix machine:
openssl x509 -in $HOME/.globus/usercert.pem -subject -noout
Send the output of this command to the tutorial organizers by e-mail.
