Start Here - Registering with the Imperial DIRAC instance

To register with the Imperial DIRAC instance, please send an email to lcg-site-admin@imperial.ac.uk stating:

• that you would like to register with the Imperial DIRAC instance;
• your grid certificate's Distinguished Name (DN);
• the VOs you wish to be registered with when using the Imperial DIRAC instance.

You should also join the Imperial DIRAC mailing list.

How do I find my grid certificate DN?

The simplest way to do this is to access the Imperial DIRAC web portal and copy it from the bottom-right corner of the browser. It should be in the format:

/C=UK/O=eScience/OU=[Your institute]/L=[Your department]/CN=[Your name].

Why do I need to provide the VO names?

The Imperial DIRAC system is not (yet) able to retrieve the VOs of which you are a member automatically - and besides, you might not want to use the Imperial DIRAC system with them anyway (e.g. if you are a member of an LHC VO).

Once you have sent the registration email and joined the Imperial DIRAC mailing list, please click here.
