How to access, set up, and test your account

1. Try to log in to the User Interface machine (-Y or -X flag for working with X applications)

   ssh -Y username@t3ui01
   

2. If you are an external user and do not have a PSI AFS account to log in, you need to change your password using the standard passwd utility.
3. Copy your grid credentials to the standard places, i.e. to ~/.globus/userkey.pem and ~/.globus/usercert.pem and make sure that the permissions are set correctly like in this output:

   -rw-r--r--  1 feichtinger cms 2961 Mar 17  2008 usercert.pem
   -rw-------  1 feichtinger cms 1917 Mar 17  2008 userkey.pem
   

4. Try to create a proxy certificate for CMS

   voms-proxy-init -voms cms
   

5. Test your access to the PSI Storage element with the test-dCacheProtocols command. You should see output like this (no failed tests):

   $> test-dCacheProtocols
   Test directory: /tmp/dcachetest-20081105-1632-8387
   TEST: GSIDCAP-write ......  [IGNORE]
   TEST: SRMv1-adv-del ......  [SKIPPED] (dependencies did not run:  GSIDCAP-write)
   TEST: GFTP-write ......  [OK]
   TEST: GFTP-ls ......  [OK]
   TEST: GFTP-read ......  [OK]
   TEST: DCAP-read ......  [OK]
   TEST: SRMv1-adv-del1 ......  [OK]
   TEST: SRMv1-write ......  [OK]
   TEST: SRMv1-get-meta ......  [OK]
   TEST: SRMv1-read ......  [OK]
   TEST: SRMv1-adv-del2 ......  [OK]
   TEST: SRMv2-write ......  [OK]
   TEST: SRMv2-ls ......  [OK]
   TEST: SRMv2-read ......  [OK]
   TEST: SRMv2-rm ......  [OK]
   

   Note: This tool can also be used to test remote element access (use the -h flag to get information on it)
