Hey,
Alright, I spose I'm having a little difficulties with this. First,
I was able to transfer the cert files over to the linux platform
easily. I found the locations of where the files should be and replaced
them. That didn't work smoothly and I ended up having to import them.
I imported my windows Ident Cert, as well as both trusted CA Certs
(Access Grid Developers CA and Globus Certification Authority). As well
note, I did this through the VenueClient.py. Now, when I first start
up the VenueClient, It prompts me for a password. The Personal Ident
password does not work for this. As well when trying to start
AGServiceManager.py, the same problem occurs. This is a fresh install
and no other passwords have been declared. I tried starting from
scratch again, this time I requested a new certificate. The same thing
occurs here as well. If needed, I'm doing this install on a Debian
Platform Kernel 2.4.18, with python 2.2.1, AG 2.1.2. Anyone have any
suggestions? It would greatly be appreciated. Oh and on a side note,
when everything is set up and I bypass the first password that denies me
access, I'll try to join a server, it prompts for password which will
accept ident password, and then it specifies that the venue server is
unavailable...
