You would need root at some point to change the ownership of the files
to root and move them to the right place, but the actual request
generation doesn't need to be run as root.

Before redoing everything let me ask a more fundamental question. All the
documentation I've read so far says that grid-cert-request needs to be run
as root. Is that strictly the case? I only have sudo on the test machines
I'm using. I have been creating the *.pem files and then moving them to
/etc/grid-security.

Is that with a different hostcert.pem and the original hostkey.pem? If
you recreate the cert you need to also copy the new key.

Are you running the server as root? If not, it can't use the host cert,
and you'll see the error you're getting.
You'll also need to recreate the host cert with the the full hostname.

BTW, I can't run the grid-cert-request as root. Could that be causing
the confusion?

Hi,
Did you give the proper DNS name (or IP address) of the server when you
generated its host key (Common Name)? If you thought it was asking or
your name instead of the server's name, then this will happen.

This one has me really confused. I somehow ended up with my name as
the authenticated hostname and I can't figure out how. Looking at the
pem files, all appears well but something is obviously amiss.
The expected name for the remote host
([email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>
<mailto:[email protected]>) does not match the
authenticated name of the remote host (Hoot Thompson)

Perhaps I'm making this too hard. I follow these instructions.....
Chapter 2. Configuring
1. Configure SimpleCA for multiple machines
So far, you have a single machine configured with SimpleCA certificates.
Recall that in Section 2.5,³Confirm generated
certificate² a CA setup package was created in
.globus/simpleCA/globus_simple_ca_HASH_setup-
0.17.tar.gz. If you want to use your certificates on another machine,
you must install that CA setup package on
that machine.
To install it, copy that package to the second machine and run:
$GLOBUS_LOCATION/sbin/gpt-build globus_simple_ca_HASH_setup-0.17.tar.gz
gcc32dbg
$GLOBUS_LOCATION/sbin/gpt-postinstall
Then you will have to perform setup-gsi -default from Section 2.6,
³Complete setup of GSI².
If you are going to run services on the second host, it will need its
own host certificate (Section 3,³Host certificates²)
and grid-mapfile (as described in the basic configuration instructions
in Section 3,³Add authorization²).
You may re-use your user certificates on the new host. You will need to
copy the requests to the host where the Sim-
pleCA was first installed in order to sign them.
Everything goes well until I get to the part that says"If you are going
to run services on the second host, it will need its own host
certificate (Section 3,³Host certificates²)
and grid-mapfile (as described in the basic configuration instructions
in Section 3,³Add authorization²)." I can create the host certificate
but I can't sign it due to the previously mentioned error. So your
comment says I should sign the second machine's certificate on the first
machine and then bring it back. I'll give it a try. Bottom line is all
I'm trying to do is get two machines trusted so I can try striped
transfers.
Hoot
Right, what Martin suggested should work. That package that you
installed on the second machine is simply the CA certificates that
enable the other machines to trust that CA and the certificates it
signs. The CA itself only lives on a single machine.

The CA itself should stay on one machine and should not be copied to
multiple nodes in a grid. It's probably only located on the first
machine in your case.
Does it work if you copy the host certificate request from the second
machine to the first machine, sign it there, and copy the generated
certificate back to the second machine, where the corresponding private
key of the host certificate lives?
