As a beta release, you need to know that this version may contain bugs. To be sure '''do make a backup of any existing private keys in your <tt>~/.globus</tt>'''. As jGridstart is meant to be deployed by certificate authorities, this version communicates with a test certificate authority, so you can play with it as you like without bothering a real CA.
 
 
 
== Getting started ==
 
To request a dummy certificate via jGridstart, please follow these steps:
 
 
 
# Launch jGridstart from the [http://www.nikhef.nl/~wvengen/jgridstart/release/1.0beta4/jgridstart.html jGridstart 1.0beta launch page]
 
# Request a new certificate (if this is not clear upon running jGridstart, it is considered a bug)
 
# 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 [http://www.nikhef.nl/~wvengen/testca/?action=retrieve test certificate authority]: locate your certificate, and press the lock icon to make your certificate valid.
 
# 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.
 
 
 
Please test and try to get it to misbehave :) It's beta-software so you'll probably succeed, this will help me to get it fixed before releasing the software in the wild. Known issues will be added below.
 
 
 
== Known Issues ==
 
* Default browser may be wrongly detected on Windows (fixed in 1.0beta5)
 
* File copy problem Windows XP when user cannot read security attributes (fixed in 1.0beta5)

* Some error messages are not clearly shown to the user (fixed in 1.0beta5)
