Note: This version of the VDT (1.8.0) 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.

VOMS

The VOMS certificate (vomscert)

We have had trouble getting VOMS to work properly using the service certificate. As a work around, when VOMS is installed by the VDT, your host certificate and key are copied into /etc/grid-security and renamed as vomscert.pem and vomskey.pem. The ownership of these files are changed to the user that VOMS runs as, which is usually daemon.

We will revisit this issue in a future release and attempt to get VOMS to work with the service certificate again.

Please note that when your host certificate expires, your vomscert will also expire, since it is the same certificate. To setup the VOMS certificates again you will need to execute the following commands as root:

cp /etc/grid-security/hostcert.pem /etc/grid-security/vomscert.pem
cp /etc/grid-security/hostkey.pem /etc/grid-security/vomskey.pem
chown daemon:daemon /etc/grid-security/voms*.pem
