Getting Started

First, you'll need to get a personal certificate signed by a CMS-registered Certificate Authority (CA). Please follow these procedures to obtain one. This may take a day or two; we are currently working to streamline the process.

Next, you'll need to register yourself as a member of a Virtual Organization (VO) using your personal certificate.

• CMS VO: Go to the LCG Users Registration (start with step 4). You'll need to already be registered with the CMS Secretariat in order for your request to be approved.

This is work in progress, more to come ... In the meantime, a good and mostly relevant reference is the Fermigrid User Guide.
