Once you have your certificate and you are registered to a VO, you are ready to submit jobs to the grid. To do this you must have an account on a UserInterface machine and you must copy there your personal certificate.

If you haven't already copied your certificate in the UserInterface, please get back to the document INFN-GRID personal certificates howto on the page Get your certificate.

Documentation

Important notice for members of infngrid, ingv, bio, cdf, gridit, inaf, enea, theophys, virgo and argo VO

If you are a member of infngrid, ingv, bio, cdf, gridit, inaf, enea, theophys, virgo and argo VO, please note that from 13/06/2005 and after upgrading your UI, you will be obliged to generate your proxy with:

voms-proxy-init -voms YOUR_VO (e.g. voms-proxy-init -voms bio)

instead of the traditional grid-proxy-init. Your certificate subject will not be listed anymore on CEs and SEs gridmapfiles (but it will be still needed on the ResourceBroker).

If you are a software manager use the syntax

voms-proxy-init -voms YOUR_VO:/YOUR_VO/Role=SoftwareManager

(e.g.: voms-proxy-init -voms bio:/bio/Role=SoftwareManager). Use the command:

voms-proxy-info -all

to see the VO credentials stored in your proxy.
