Globus has a convention for storing and retrieving the user's key and certificate. On unix and related systems, this is a directory ~/.globus . This page discusses the files that can be present.

  • userkey.pem - the user's private key in PEM format
  • usercert.pem - the user's public certificate in PEM format
  • cog.properties - security properties used by Globus CoG, allows customising the others (!) CogProperties /(JavaDoc)
  • certificates/ - CA certificates to replace system's location when present (also in CogProperties)
