Get started with the grid easily. jGridstart helps grid end-users to request, obtain, install and renew grid certificates in a friendly way.
Using a large computing grid like BiG Grid and EGEE requires some form of accountability. This is done using digital certificates. jGridstart helps a grid user to manage these, coordinated by a grid certification authority. Currently, DutchGrid is working on using jGridstart.
You can test drive jGridstart.
