Security system errors and workarounds. === Error in OLD GAA code: Could not get policy info: Minor status=201 =
Users at various sites have experienced strange error when using voms proxies to access grid services. The error manifests itself with the following message:
ERROR: initializing context: GSS Error: GSS Major Status: Authentication Failed, MECH Error: GSS Minor Status Error Chain:, globus_gsi_gssapi: SSLv3 handshake problems, globus_gsi_callback_module: Could not verify credential, globus_gsi_callback_module: Error with signing policy, globus_gsi_callback_module: Error in OLD GAA code: Could not get policy info: Minor status=201
Possible causes are suspected to include:
- A bug in the globus_sgi_callback parser.
- Clashes when GSS and CertWizard work with each other.
- Non-standard shared directories and defaults
A workaround exists for this condition. On the user's system, check whether the user's ~/.globus directory is cluttered with various extraneous items. If so, strip back the content to usercert.* and userkey.* and try the operation again.
