How to get CILogon Certificate

• To apply for a certificate see Instructions
  • To use this proxy, after you stored it in $HOME/.globus, you will use the Globus "grid-proxy-init".

      grid-proxy-init [ -hours 264 ]
    

    where hours is the desired lifetime of the proxy where default is twelve hours (a TRANSP run may take longer than that default.) The password entered is the one that you entered when you issued it. For more information, run "man grid-proxy-init" on your Unix system.
