Note: This version of the VDT (1.2.4) is no longer supported. Feel free to look through the documentation and install it, but we cannot guarantee support for it. The current stable release is 2.0.0.
Starting with VDT 1.2.3, the VDT team updates the VDT CA certificate package independently of the rest of the VDT. When updates are announced, follow the instructions below to get them.
To find out what VDT version you have:
$ vdt-version | head -1 You have installed a subset of VDT version 1.2.4:
To find out what version of the VDT-distributed CA certificates you have:
$ vdt-version | grep -i certificates
CA Certificates v14 (includes IGTF 1.2 CAs)
It is possible — but not recommended — to update the CA
certificates using a single command from the $VDT_LOCATION
directory:
$ pacman -update DOE-EDG-Certificates
Doing so will install new and updated certificates but will not remove certificate files from your installation directory that have been removed from the VDT distribution.
To perform the recommended clean update, use the following sequence of
commands from the $VDT_LOCATION directory:
$ source setup.sh $ pacman -remove DOE-EDG-Certificates Done. ** Warning: Package ... is missing dependents ['DOE-EDG-Certificates'] $ pacman -remove CA-Certificates-Base CERTS can't be removed because it was never added. Done. ** Warning: Package ... is missing dependents ['DOE-EDG-Certificates'] $ cd globus/share $ cat ../../vdt/etc/package_data/CA-Certificates-Base.filelist | xargs /bin/rm -f $ cd ../.. $ pacman -get DOE-EDG-Certificates Fetching [CA-Certificates-Base] from [http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/vdt_124_cache]...
