I have been appointed the LHCb LHC user support contact person. My first
job is to tell people how to get their digital certificate then how to
"try out LCG". This has led me to two questions:
1. What do users do if they are not physically located near their "home",
therefore cannot meet an RA approved by their CA in order to have their
cert signed? For instance, I am in this situation, as I am not going to
be near the Oxford RA any time soon. I imagine many others are in the
same situation where any geographically close RAs are only for CAs who
will not take responsibility for them (i.e. not sign their cert request).
2. Is there a list of "common" UI nodes for EDG and/or LCG for various
countries? I know of:
gppui.gridpp.rl.ac.uk for UK/RAL/CSF users
ccedgui.in2p3.fr for CNRS/France users (and others?)
This is for users who don't want to pester their local site admins to
install a UI.
Cheers,
Ian.
