[AG-TECH] VenueServer Problem , please help urgently

[Himani Gandhi]

HI Ivan , 

Thanks for the feedback . 
Though I have been able to figure out myself , by browsing through the 
code . 

Meanwhile , for my Linux CA and Windows2k personal node setup . I have 
been able to " hack " the certificates by creating them offline and 
putting them at the required directories for the trusted CA certs and the 
user ca cert . 

NOW MY PROBLEM IS : 

I am running the server on the as per the instructions at : 

http://hpcnc.cpe.ku.ac.th/moin/InstallingAccessGrid

I am able to run : VenueServer.py 
but when I run : VenueManagement.py 

and type the URL of the VenueServer and try to connect the 
VenueManagement to VenueServer,i encounter some problems which i fail to 
understand. i would be grateful if some one could provide some insights.
  
 When the VenueManagement tries to connect to the VenueServer, the 
ioc.tcp_connect call in GSIHTTPConnection.connect fails. ( " Thas what i 
made of the debugger dumps that I saw !") 

the logs of the script in the debugger are as follows:
==================================================================================================
> /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pyGlobus/io.py(660)connect()
-> ret, handle = ioc.tcp_connect(host, port, attr.get_handle())

====================================================================================================
Is There some known bug OR some configuration problem ?

MOREOVER , when I click on the "CHECKPOINT" option , I get a error similar 
to : 
'authentication failed:\n    Authentication Failed\n    GSS status: 
major:000a0000 minor: 00000000 token: 00000000\n'

Please help me I am in urgent need of some help !

Himani
