6. Laboratório de Instrumentação e Física Experimental de Partículas Software - Certificates  LIP has established a CA in the framework of the GRID activities to issue certificates both to: LIP users; LIP servers.  LIP is coordinating its activities with the CA working group. A new CA has been recently established to be compatible with the proposed minimum requirements;  A small internal document on certificates at LIP has been produced: Certificate Management and the LIP CA;  The LIP Certification Policy and Certificate Practice Statement is being revised according with RFC2527 and a new draft version will be published soon.

7. Laboratório de Instrumentação e Física Experimental de Partículas Software - Globus  Installation of the Globus 1.1.3 toolkit in the LIP farm.  lflip04 is the gatekeeper and has a PBS service.  A distributed Globus information service has been established: National GIIS “dc=pt, o=Grid” (lnnet01.lip.pt:2137); Institutional GIIS for LIP “dc=lip, dc=pt, o=Grid” (lflip04.lip.pt:2167); Local MDS service in each system.  Integration of the LIP MDS with the DATAGRID MDS.  GSI authentication through the LIP CA for: LIP users; LIP servers.  A small internal document on Globus at LIP has been produced: Installing and deploying Globus at LIP.
