NAME¶
grid-default-ca - Select default CA for certificate requestsSYNOPSIS¶
grid-default-ca -help | -h | -usage | -u | -version | -versionsDESCRIPTION¶
The grid-default-ca program sets the default certificate authority to use when the grid-cert-request script is run. The CA’s certificate, configuration, and signing policy must be installed in the trusted certificate directory to be able to request certificates from that CA. Note that some CAs have different policies and use other tools to handle certificate requests. Please consult your CA’s support staff if you unsure. The grid-default-ca is designed to work with CAs implemented using the globus_simple_ca package.OPTIONS¶
The full set of command-line options to grid-default-ca are: -help, -h, -usage, -uDisplay the command-line options to

-version, -versions

grid-default-ca command. The second form includes more details.
-dir CA-DIRECTORY
Use the trusted certificate directory named by
CA-DIRECTORY instead of the default.
-list
Instead of changing the default CA, print out
a list of all available CA certificates in the trusted certificate
directory.
-ca CA-HASH
Set the default CA without displaying the list
of choices or prompting. The CA file named by CA-HASH must exist.
EXAMPLES¶
List the contents of the trusted certificate directory that contain the string Example:% grid-default-ca | grep Example 15) cd1186ff - /DC=org/DC=Example/DC=Grid/CN=Example CA
% grid-default-ca -ca cd1186ff setting the default CA to: /DC=org/DC=Example/DC=Grid/CN=Example CA linking /etc/grid-security/certificates/grid-security.conf.cd1186ff to /etc/grid-security/certificates/grid-security.conf linking /etc/grid-security/certificates/grid-host-ssl.conf.cd1186ff to /etc/grid-security/certificates/grid-host-ssl.conf linking /etc/grid-security/certificates/grid-user-ssl.conf.cd1186ff to /etc/grid-security/certificates/grid-user-ssl.conf ...done.
ENVIRONMENT¶
The following environment variables affect the execution of grid-default-ca: GRID_SECURITY_DIRECTORY:: Path to the default trusted certificate directory. X509_CERT_DIR:: Path to the default trusted certificate directory. GLOBUS_LOCATION:: Path to the Globus Toolkit installation directory.BUGS¶
The grid-default-ca program displays CAs from all of the directories in its search list; however, grid-cert-request only uses the first which contains a grid security configuration.SEE ALSO¶
