Managing Grid Credentials

[ Dorian: Administrators Guide | Developers Guide | Users Guide | caGrid: Documentation Guides ]

The Proxy Manager window allows the management of grid proxies or grid credentials that you have locally created. This window is accessible after logging into Dorian or it is directly accessible through the GAARDS UI as follows.

1. Click the Credential Manager button on the toolbar in the GAARDS UI.
2. The Select Proxy drop down contains a list of all the non-expired proxies that you created with the addition of the default proxy. Generally Globus clients use the default proxy to connect to grid services if no other proxy is specified. To set the default proxy, select the proxy you wish to make the default from the Select Proxy drop down and click the Set Defaultbutton. Selecting a proxy from the drop down displays some information about the proxy as well as the certificate chain for the proxy. The Proxy information includes the subject of the proxy certificate, the issuer of the proxy certificate, the grid identity, the strength of the proxy certificate, and when the proxy expires. The certificate chain table lists each certificate in the proxies certificate chain, with the proxy certificate listed first. You can view the details of a certificate in the chain by selecting it and by clicking the View Certificate button.
3. Finally, you can delete a proxy by selecting the proxy to delete from the Select Proxy drop down. Click the Delete Proxy button.
