2. National Computational Science National Center for Supercomputing ApplicationsNational Computational Science Alliance Certificate Authority Tools package –Provides certificate request, retrieve, renew, and revoke commands –Co-exists with other CA tools packages –Naming convention for scripts and configuration files: grid-cert-request (globus-cert-request?), ncsa-cert-request, ipg-cert-request, sdsc-cert- request –User chooses commands for his or her CA

3. National Computational Science National Center for Supercomputing ApplicationsNational Computational Science Alliance Certificate Authority Certificate package –Installs the Certificate Authority’s certificate in trusted certificate directory (directories?) –Cluster issue: trusted certificates directory must be “deployed” to all cluster nodes –Provides Certificate Revocation List retrieval script –Sites install a different certificate package for each trusted CA

4. National Computational Science National Center for Supercomputing ApplicationsNational Computational Science Information Services Virtual Organization (VO) Membership package –Configures site to report to Virtual Organization (VO) Grid Index Information Service (GIIS) –Multiple VO Membership packages must co-exist -- Site may belong to multiple VOs
