The security tools are installed as part of the Globus Toolkit installation process. For instructions on basic installation of the Globus Toolkit, see the Installing GT 4.1.3. |
Authentication in the Globus Toolkit is based on X.509 certificates. This document describes the configuration steps required to:
- Determine whether or not to trust certificates issued by a particular Certificate Authority (CA),
- Provide appropriate default values for use by the grid-cert-request command, which is used to generate certificates,
- Request service certificates, used by services to authenticate themselves to users, and
- Specify identity mapping information.
