GridPP VOMS Service

The information in the GridPP VO is now also available as signed VOMS attributes on an experimental basis.

Configuration details

The VOMS service is running on port 15000 on voms.gridpp.ac.uk. You may need to open up outgoing TCP connections to port 15000 in your firewall to contact the service.

The VO name is vo.gridpp.ac.uk and all groups have the form /vo.gridpp.ac.uk/GROUPNAME, where GROUPNAME is the existing

On the UI machines where you want to use edg-voms-proxy-init, /opt/edg/etc/vomses should contain as one long line:

"gridpp" "voms.gridpp.ac.uk" "15000" "/C=UK/O=eScience/OU=Manchester/L=HEP/CN=voms.gridpp.ac.uk/Email=ops@tier2.hep.manchester.ac.uk" "gridpp"

With the above set up, you can issue the command /opt/edg/bin/edg-voms-proxy-init -voms gridpp on the UI and receive a proxy with VOMS extensions corresponding to your GridPP group memberships.

For people running services which want to accept GridPP VOMS attributes, the vo.gridpp.ac.uk host certificate is available from this link.

Bugs

Due to the non-standard way in which the VOMS database is populated (from the existing GridPP groups database), extra attributes with numeric capabilities are present. These won't interfere with your use of the normal VOMS attributes.
