jGridStart 1.0alpha1 is the very first pre-release of jGridstart. As such it contains known bugs and is not suitable for end-users. While production grid certificates reside in ~/.globus, this version operates on ~/.globus-test to keep it safe. Later versions will operate on ~/.globus by default. Also, certificate requests are posted to a test certificate authority, so you can play with it as you like without bothering the real CA. (TODO add location of test CA)

You are welcome to test this version! Please notify us of any bugs you find. Details will be added when the pre-release is done.

Known issues

  • Major functionality
    • Print and PDF export of verification form shows neither form fields nor their contents
    • Certificate extensions are not preserved when renewing a certificate
  • Small bugs
    • Wizard to request a new certificate, retrieve, install and renew it can take a long time to load
    • Import of PKCS#12/PEM files without a private key results in incomplete certificates at next run
    • Selecting a different web browser in installation step still opens default browser when opening a link
