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.psi.ch
    
  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
    
    If this fails, run the command with an additional -debug flag, and the error message will usually be sufficient for us to point out the problem. Make sure that your certificate is signed up with CMS as in these instructions from our Tier-2 wiki.
  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)
