Step 2
Once you installed your certificate, you can access https://voms2.cnaf.infn.it:8443/voms/euchina/webui/request/user/create

How to export and convert the certificate (step 3)
To export the certificate is not mandatory to access the VOMS.
If you want to export your certificate, please follow the procedure written below.

To use grid, the CA certificate can be saved on disc.
The certificate could be in PEM format (.pem extension) or PKCS12 format (.p12 extension).
If your certificate is in the PKCS12 format, you can change its format in PEM using the pkcs12 command installed in the openssl packet.

When you submit a job in grid, the certificate must be in your user interface. So, it is necessary:

  • to copy your certificate in your UI;
  • to digit the following commands to change the .p12 certificate extension:
    - $ openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -in my_cert.p12 -out userkey.pem
    (it create a private key through the option -nocerts)
    - $ openssl pkcs12 -clcerts -nokeys -in my_cert.p12 -out usercert.pem
    (it create the certificate through the option -nokeys)
    NB: the -clcerts option determines that only the client certificate must be create.
  • Modify the files permit through the command:
    $chmod 400 userkey.pem
    $chmod 644 usercert.pem

It is possible to follow the detailed procedure at https://gilda.ct.infn.it/video/Certification/Allproxy.html.
