Hi *, in order to be able to retrieve credentials from the MyProxy server to an UI, obviously you need to have some free ports on the UI. As you may see from the e-mail below, the correct syntax for the GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE should be something like GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE="20000,25000" and NOT as we all have (Do we? At least I do) have in /etc/sysconfig/globus GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE="20000 25000" With this (incorrect) syntax, just the port 20000 is used, and if it is occupied by some other process, myproxy-get-delegation fails... I have verified this. However, will this change create some other problems if made on all nodes, i.e. does anything depend on the exact syntax GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE="20000 25000" and will fail if the space is replaces by the comma?

The two port numbers should be separated by a comma, not a space, like "20000,25000". I think that should solve the problem. If not, let me know. -Jim Antun Balaz <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi Jim, > I have problems in retrieving the credential stored on my MyProxy server > from my UI.
