I think %HOME%\.globus\certificates is where certs would go, not just under .globus itself. Then again, I would have expected $GL/share/ certificates to work. Does the version of grid-proxy-init you get have a verification option? That should at least show you what it's using for a Trusted CA directory. Also, if you have a .globus/ cog.properties file, it could be interfering with the ordinary search order.

Dear all,

I’m struggling to configure GT4 security in Windows. I am using GT4.0.8 Java WS Core as standalone container, and I’d like to use Message Level Security – GSI Secure Conversation in order to use OGSA-DAI’s GridFTP activities.

I configured the trusted CA, puting the <CAhash>.0 and <CAhast>.signing_policy files at %USERPROFILE%\.globus. There are located as well my hostkey.pem and hostcert.pem, which was signed by the CA. I configured the grid-mapfile and created a proxy with grid-proxy- init with the host certificate.

I’ve configured the global_security_descriptor.xml as well as the different services security descriptor files following the OGSA-DAI admin documentation.

I started the globus container with “globus-start-container -nosec”.

However, when I run my client I get the following exception:

[1227008425909:0] uk.org.ogsadai.client.tookit.RESOURCE_COMMS_ERROR 
:http://localhost:8080/wsrf/services/dai/DataRequestExecutionService/DataRequestExecutionResource
; nested exception is:
org.globus.common.ChainedIOException: Authentication failed [Caused by: Failure unspecified at GSS-API level [Caused by: Unknown CA]] Authentication failed [Caused by: Failure unspecified at GSS-API level [Caused by: Unknown CA]]


Following the OGSA-DAI admin documentation, I’ve tried putting the CA files at other locations (%GLOBUS_LOCATION%\share\certificates), and to configure the X509_CERT_DIR environment variable.

What did I do wrong? I believe that the problem is more with GT4 security configuration than with OGSA-DAI configuration… What else should I check? What else can I try?

Thanks a lot in advance for any hint, help or advice!

Best,


Sandra
