[AG-TECH] Dual Boot PIG

[Adam Hanson]

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...
