There is not the file request.pem you want to sign. That's why you get the error. You need to generate a certificate request (a user certificate request, I guess) using the command grid-cert-request as a normal user who wants a certificate. The copy the request $HOME/.globus/usercert_request.pem to a different directory accessible by an owner of your Globus Certifcate Authority (globus or root). Then use 'grid-ca-sign' to sign the request pointing it out (the option -in) where it has been copied to.

    Hi Kaasim,

    There is only one place in GT 5 (grid-ca-sign) where the output
    can be generated:

           if test ! -r ${INPUT_REQ_FILE}; then
                echo ""
                echo "ERROR: The file: ${INPUT_REQ_FILE} is not readable"
                echo ""
                exit 1
            fi

    Please, can you show output from the command ls -l, after you run
    the command

    # grid-ca-sign -in request.pem -out signed.pem

    Hi all
     I am new to Globus and installing it for academic purposes.

    I am following globus 4.0 quick start  (
    _*http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.0/admin/docbook/quickstart.html#q-vo
    *_)

    GT version: GT 5
    OS : Ubuntu 10.04

    Everything goes fine until i gave the following command
    _*|grid-ca-sign -in request.pem -out signed.pem|*_



    _ERROR: The file: request.pem is not readable_
    I have checked all the permissions, they are rite, further i
    tried to run this command as root, but still the same error.

    Please Help.
