Request a real certificate

If you are entitled to a DutchGrid certificate, you can request or renew an official certificate. Please visit the DutchGrid CA.

Request a dummy certificate

NOTE This feature currently is not functional. The TestCA class needs some adaptations to get back to work.

If you just want to see how jGridstart works without being bothered with real certificates, please follow these steps.

  1. Open jGridstart, choose one of these versions:
  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.

Run the testing suite

You can help us improve jGridstart by running the automated test suite. After the tests are finished, results will be uploaded to the developers. Run testing program
