| − | [[JGridstart]] 1.0beta4 is an update of [[JGridstart/Releases/1.0beta3|1.0beta3]] for testing with end-users, fixing several bugs. You too are welcome to test this version! Please notify us of any bugs you find, see [[JGridstart/Support|Support]]
| + | #REDIRECT [[JGridstart/Releases]] |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
