Not necessarily: the RB should be using a compatible BDII, so the easiest is to use the same BDII indeed. It ought to be possible to specify the BDII in the JDL file, such that one does not depend on the one configured on the RB... > And is a certificate proxy host PX_HOST mandatory even for a small > site, or can we use that of CERN? You can use the one of CERN. In any case you would have to ensure that the RB you use is trusted by the PX_HOST you use, otherwise the RB will not be able to renew the proxies. In general that means that a site that sets up its own RB also needs to set up its own PX_HOST. > And could someone explain the difference between RGMA and GIIS?

The (site) GIIS is the site's entry point for the information system, which also happens to be used to do certain forms of monitoring. R-GMA currently is used for monitoring and accounting; originally it was planned to be used as information system as well, but it did not mature in time, so we kept relying on LDAP-based information systems (first MDS, now the more robust BDII).
