VO related operations on AFS UI

Adding a new VO with yaim

Note: this currently is not possible, as each VO normally has more than one RB, and different per VO, which currently is not supported by YAIM.

Adding a new VO without yaim

• Edit the site-info.def file and add the new VO parameters as a reminder for future AFS UI releases.

• Add (if not present) the certificate of the relevant VOMS server to the directory $INSTALL_ROOT/etc/grid-security/vomsdir
  • Format of the file name is voms.server.name.extension, where the extension can be the serial number of the certificate or the date the certificate was issued (format YYYY-MM-DD). Either can be found in the output of this command:

       openssl x509 -noout -text -in The-new-host-cert
          

  • fix the ownership of the host cert:

       afs_admin s_o root:root $INSTALL_ROOT/etc/grid-security/vomsdir/The-new-host-cert
          

• Add a line for the new VO in the file $INSTALL_ROOT/glite/etc/vomses to associate the VO to its VOMS server.
• Add a file for the new VO in the directory $INSTALL_ROOT/edg/etc/vomses to associate the VO to its VOMS server.

• Add a directory $INSTALL_ROOT/edg/etc/<VO-NAME>
  • Create and edit the file edg_wl_ui.conf

• Add a directory $INSTALL_ROOT/glite/etc/<VO-NAME>
  • Create and edit the file glite_wms.conf
  • Create and edit the file glite_wmsui.conf

• Set the variable VO_<VO-NAME>_DEFAULT_SE in the

  $INSTALL_ROOT/etc/env.d/lcgenv.(c)sh

  files

• Synchronise as described Syncronize read-only copy on AFS after checking

Checks to see if all went well

• There should be a file containing the certificate for the VOMS server under

   $INSTALL_ROOT/etc/grid-security/vomsdir 

• There should be a directory $INSTALL_ROOT/edg/etc/<VO-NAME> containing the RB configuration file
  • edg_wl_ui.conf

• There should be a directory $INSTALL_ROOT/glite/etc/<VO-NAME> containing the WMS configuration files
  • glite_wms.conf
  • glite_wmsui.conf

• There should be a line corresponding to the new VO in the file

   $INSTALL_ROOT/glite/etc/vomses 

  associating the VO to its VOMS server

Reconfiguring an existing VO

To reconfigure parameters for a VO you must edit the following files directly

    $INSTALL_ROOT/edg/etc/<VO-NAME>/edg_wl_ui.conf
    $INSTALL_ROOT/glite/etc/<VO-NAME>/glite_wms.conf
    $INSTALL_ROOT/glite/etc/<VO-NAME>/glite_wmsui.conf

• Synchronise as described Syncronize read-only copy on AFS
