Getting Set up

Please contact Ian Johnson or Timothy Noblewith:

• Rucio username,
• The subject from your eScience certificate to get this use:

openssl x509 -subject -noout -in <path/to/your/usercert.pem>

• Your preferred email address
• Name of the VO you wish to join or create.
• Your public SSH key.

We currently have drc for DIRAC, dtm for DTEAM, gpp for GridPP, etc We will then set up your account.

Setting up and Using the Containerized Client

First you will need to download and install Docker to run the container:

• https://www.docker.com/get-started (for windows users I would recommend using WSL2 rather than Hyper-V as I have had success there)
• Using openSSL you will need to split your grid certificate bundle into the certificate and key:

openssl pkcs12 -in <*.pfx> -out usercert.pem -clcerts -nokeys
openssl pkcs12 -in <*.pfx> -out userkey.pem -nocerts -nodes

• Run the Docker container using the following command:

run -e RUCIO_CFG_RUCIO_HOST=https://rucio-server.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:443 -e RUCIO_CFG_AUTH_HOST=https://rucio-server.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:443 -e RUCIO_CFG_AUTH_TYPE=x509 -e RUCIO_CFG_CLIENT_VO=<3 CHAR VO NAME LOWERCASE> -e RUCIO_CFG_CLIENT_CERT=/opt/rucio/etc/usercert.pem -e RUCIO_CFG_CLIENT_KEY=/opt/rucio/etc/userkey.pem -e RUCIO_CFG_ACCOUNT=<USERNAME>-e RUCIO_CFG_CA_CERT=/opt/rucio/etc/web/ca-first.pem -v <PATH/TO/ca-first.pem>:/opt/rucio/etc/web/ca-first.pem -v <PATH/TO/YOUR/USERCERT>:/opt/rucio/etc/usercert -v <PATH/TO/YOUR/USERKEY>:/opt/rucio/etc/userkey --name=rucio-client -it -d rucio/rucio-clients

• Run the following commands:

cd /opt/rucio/etc/
cp userkey userkey.pem
chmod 400 userkey.pem
cp usercert usercert.pem

• You should now have a fully set up Containerised Client for your Rucio Account and VO
