[AG-TECH] grid-proxy-info & init

[Christoph Willing]

This isn't really a bug, more of a feature request -

New identity certificates aquired recently are issued by AG Developers
and, in Linux systems, are stored in the user's .AccessGrid directory
tree. The previously issued Globus identity certificates were stored in
the user's .globus directory.

Although grid-proxy-info is able find these newer certificates and
report on them, grid-proxy-init will not work. It looks in the .globus
directory, which doesn't exist for the newer certificates. The actual
output is:
~$ grid-proxy-init         
user certificate not found
        Cert File=/var/lib/ag/.globus/usercert.pem
Function: proxy_init_cred
~$


The -cert and -key options to grid-proxy-init will work to make
grid-proxy-init look in different locations, but these locations are
horrendously error-prone e.g for one particular machine, I need to type:

grid-proxy-init -key
.AccessGrid/certRepo/privatekeys/3915260c10f91fe25bd690a4f80c0037.pem
-cert
.AccessGrid/certRepo/certificates/f5d473eee6f6e6c97266997422a5ca54/f05e3a2e909373343c5378059f861381/cert.pem


Could grid-proxy-init be modified to be as smart as grid-proxy-info in
searching for certificates i.e. that it automatically searches the
.AccessGrid tree?
