[AG-TECH] Re: Invalid Passphrase - getting closer!

[Darin Oman]

Thanks for the help, all. I did restart the client as well as the computers with no luck. It's all working again this morning. The video machine seems to have been a bit confused (technical terms) between certs. I wasn't getting the error message that the passphrase expired on the video machine, so there was still a valid proxy to the expired certificate, or something like that. Anyway, it's all good now. 

For future reference: is there a way to kill the proxy before the allotted time is up?
