Globus has a convention for storing and retrieving the user's key and certificate. On unix and related systems, this is a directory ~/.globus . This page discusses the files that can be present.
- userkey.pem - the user's private key in PEM format
- usercert.pem - the user's public certificate in PEM format
- cog.properties - security properties used by Globus CoG, allows customising the others (!) CogProperties /(JavaDoc)
- certificates/ - CA certificates to replace system's location when present (also in CogProperties). This directory contains files named by the hash code of each CA identity:
- <hash>.0 - CA certificate
- <hash>.info - CA metadata
- <hash>.namespaces - signing policy namespace [1]
- <hash>.signing_policy - GSI signing policy. The CA signing policy is used to place constraints on the information you trust a given CA to bind to public keys. Specifically it constrains the identities a CA is trusted to assert in a certificate.
- <hash>.crl_url - URL of the corresponding certificate revocation list
- <hash>.r0 - copy of the certificate revocation list
Location of ~/.globus
Unix and related: ~/.globus Windows: c:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\.globus
