Note: This version of the VDT (1.6.0) 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.
Globus 4 is run in its own container, not within Tomcat. Because we already have several known services that run within Tomcat, Globus 4 is running on a non-standard port: 9443 instead of 8443. If you wish to change this, just edit the globus-ws init script. Also note that we have a workaround for this problem.
VOMS Admin 1.2.15-0 contains a known bug for which we install a workaround. However, the workaround disables the automatic request clean-up feature. We hope to release a new version of the VDT with a new, fixed version of VOMS Admin before any automatic clean-ups would occur, so we don’t expect this to cause problems.
CEMon expects to find a LCG Generic Information Provider script at /opt/glite/etc/glite-ce-ce-plugin/glite-ce-info, as documented in the CEMon instructions. If you install the VDT in any location other than /opt, and you want to use CEMon and the LCG GIP, you will still have to create the glite-ce-info symlink at the above location.
Globus does not support MDS 2 on 64 bit platforms. Our 32 bit server build works on x86-64 machines, but the client only works when authentication is disabled (-x flag). Clients from 32 bit machines can authenticate to a 64 bit server without problems.
