How I made GSI stuff work for me on Ubuntu 12.04 so I can run Crab on my laptop

• install globus-proxy-utils via synaptic
• Install CVMFS
  • followed online documentation
  • pus: CVMFS_HTTP_PROXY='DIRECT' (from David A.)
• mount
  • /cvmfs/cms.cern.ch
  • /cvmfs/grid.cern.ch
• in my .bashrc

export X509_CERT_DIR=/cvmfs/grid.cern.ch/etc/grid-security/certificates
export X509_VOMSES=/cvmfs/grid.cern.ch/emi-ui-3.7.3-1_sl6v2/etc/vomses
export X509_VOMS_DIR=/cvmfs/grid.cern.ch/emi-ui-3.7.3-1_sl6v2/etc/grid-security/vomsdir
export X509_USER_PROXY=/tmp/x509up_u`id -u`

• now can create a CMSSW release

cd /home/belforte/STEFANO/WORK/CRAB/CMSSW/
cmsrel CMSSW_7_0_2
cd CMSSW_7_0_2
cmsenv

• but can't do scram b, so I have to copy the directory from lxplus in order to run customized cmsRun
  • OTOH cmsRun and EdmConfigHash run

• as root, added a symlink:

mkdir -p /etc/pki/tls/certs/
cd /etc/pki/tls/certs/
ln -s /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt ./ca-bundle.crt

• installed locally CRAB_2_10_6 from tarball

• finally to setup the crab environment

source /cvmfs/cms.cern.ch/cmsset_default.sh 
#source /cvmfs/grid.cern.ch/emi-ui-3.7.3-1_sl6v2/etc/profile.d/setup-emi3-ui-example.sh 
cd /home/belforte/STEFANO/WORK/CRAB/CMSSW/CMSSW_7_0_2
cmsenv
cd  /home/belforte/STEFANO/WORK/CRAB/TESTCRAB

source /home/belforte/STEFANO/WORK/CRAB/CRAB_2_10_7_pre1/crab.sh 

• now crab -create works

• now gsissh

 wget http://www.globus.org/ftppub/gt5/5.2/5.2.3/installers/repo/globus-repository-5.2-stable-precise_0.0.3_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i globus-repository-5.2-stable-precise_0.0.3_all.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gsi-openssh-clients

• and now also crab -submit and crab -status work

NOTES

• no myproxy-* yet, need to use dont_check_proxy=1 in crab.cfg
