[edit] Grix

  • Grix is the ultimate all-in-one easy to use tool for:
    • Requesting, retrieving and managing a certificate.
    • Managing the VO memberships.
    • Creating a local and remote proxy for a certificate.

On some shared computers, user doesn't have the permissions to write into the home folder. To force Grix to use user-writable location, such as a flash drive, user should download grix jar and bcprov.jar and store both files in a folder on the flash drive, i.e., "E:\grix".

Then open the command line: Start->Run... and enter a command of the form:

java -Duser.home=E:\grix -jar E:\grix\grix-jdk5-bestgrid.jar

Grix will create (or use) E:\grix\.globus as a folder for a certificate.
