VOMS server configuration ------------------------- In addition to the voms-server package a voms database plugin is needed. Plugins exists for mysql and oracle. Since the oracle client libraries are not open source software, only the mysql plugin is available in Fedora. To install the voms-mysql-plugin issue the following command as root: yum install voms-mysql-plugin Before starting the server, you must create the databases used by VOMS. It is possible to run more than one VOMS server on a single host as long as they are configured to use different ports. You should have the grid CA certificates installed in /etc/grid-security/certificates before running the VOMS database creation script. To create the databases run the following command as root for each VOMS server you want to run: /usr/share/voms/voms_install_db \ --voms-vo=<voname> \ --port=<portnumber> \ --db-type=mysql \ --db-admin=<mysqladminuser> \ --db-pwd=<mysqladminpwd> \ --sqlloc=/usr/lib/voms/libvomsmysql.so If you are running on a 64 bit host use instead: --sqlloc=/usr/lib64/voms/libvomsmysql.so The voms server is configured to run as a special voms user. This user needs a copy of the host certificate and key: cp -p /etc/grid-security/hostcert.pem /etc/grid-security/voms cp -p /etc/grid-security/hostkey.pem /etc/grid-security/voms chown voms:voms /etc/grid-security/voms/host*.pem After creating the databases, start the server by running the command: service voms start If you want the server to be started automatically after each reboot run the command: chkconfig voms on To check that the server is running and is configured correctly, run the following command: /usr/share/voms/voms-ping <voname>
