JGridstart 1.2 is used in production at the DutchGrid CA. Please notify us of any bugs you find, see Support.

Getting started

Please visit the DutchGrid CA to request a new production certificate.

To request a dummy certificate via jGridstart, please follow these steps:

  1. Launch jGridstart from the jGridstart 1.2 launch page
  2. Request a new certificate (if this is not clear upon running jGridstart, it is considered a bug)
  3. When you have submitted your request, you don't need to visit a registration authority in person for this test. Instead, you can validate your own certificate by visiting the test certificate authority: locate your certificate, and press the lock icon to make your certificate valid.
  4. Close the wizard; restart jGridstart or refresh (F5/menu). This will show what to do next.

Importing your existing certificate is possible from a PKCS#12/PEM file containing your certificate or CSR _with_ your private key.

Help us by running the test application

You can help us by running jGridstart's test application. It will run a lot of tests automatically, and upload the results to the developers.
