JGridstart/Releases/1.0beta6
JGridstart 1.0beta6 is an update of 1.0beta5 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 Support
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 ~/.globus. 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 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 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.
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.
