14 {{confluence_tip title="What about a paper-based registration?"}}
15 A [[doc:BI.Belle II Paper-based Registration.WebHome]] procedure is possible but not recommended.The two main steps of //authentication// ('Who are you?') and //authorization// ('Are you in Belle II?') have to be carried out manually. Therefore it requires more work from your side and from the administrators in your and our institute. Hence we would like to strongly encourage you again to go for the Grid user certificate based registration since you will need this certificate later on for accessing data and submitting jobs in the Belle II Grid anyways.

18 {{confluence_tip title="Do I have a DESY account?"}}
19 If you were able to or are still able to login to '//[[bastion.desy.de>>url:http://bastion.desy.de||shape="rect"]]//' , you got a DESY account earlier which can be used for Belle II. Contact //[[b2-registration-support_AT_belle2.org>>url:http://b2-registration-support_AT_belle2.org||shape="rect"]] //. A new registration attempt via the portal would fail.

22 {{confluence_tip title="I have already a Grid user certifcate?"}}
23 Belle II collaborators who have a //already// a **Grid user certificate** and are //already// member of the **VO** '[[belle'>>url:https://voms.cc.kek.jp:8443/voms/belle||shape="rect"]] can go directly to the [[registration portal>>url:https://belle2-request.desy.de/||shape="rect"]]. Make sure the Grid user certificate is in the browser!

26 {{confluence_tip title="I have a already a DESY account?"}}
27 Belle II collaborators who have //already// a **DESY account** should contact //[[b2-registration-support_AT_belle2.org>>url:http://b2-registration-support_AT_belle2.org||shape="rect"]]// . The account can be used for Belle II. A **Grid user certificate** and the membership in the **VO** '[[belle'>>url:https://voms.cc.kek.jp:8443/voms/belle||rel="nofollow" shape="rect" class="external-link"]] is strongly recommended though.

36 Login to '//[[bastion.desy.de>>url:http://bastion.desy.de||shape="rect"]]//' and use the command '//passwd//'. It connects to the DESY registry which manages the access to afs, [[web>>url:http://belle2.org||shape="rect"]] pages, and ATLASSIAN tools (confluence, stash, agira, bamboo). The [[Sympa>>url:https://lists.belle2.org||shape="rect"]] ML server and [[Indico>>url:https://indico.desy.de/categoryDisplay.py?categId=428||shape="rect"]] are //not// managed automatically.

60 As the private key the password is as the the word implies 'private'. It is only known to you. Unfortunately you must request a new certificate.

63 {{confluence_tip title="How to test my Grid user certificate in ~~/.globus ?"}}
64 Grid users usually have exported their Grid user certificate to ~~/.globus to use it with Grid commands such as 'voms-proxy-init', 'dirac-proxy-init', or 'gb2_proxy_init'. The follwing commands may help to investigate the situation.
65
66 The directory:
67
68 ~> cd ~~/.globus
69
70 ~> ls -l
71
72 -r~-~-r~-~-r~-~- 1  usercert.pem
73
74 -r~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- 1  userkey.pem
75
76
77
78 Checking if public (cert) and private (key) match:
79
80
81
82 (% class="code" %)
83 (((
84 ~> openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in usercert.pem | openssl md5
85 ~> openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in userkey.pem | openssl md5
86 )))
87
88

90 Checking subject, issuer, and validity dates:
91
92 ~> openssl x509 -subject -issuer -email -dates -noout -in ~~/.globus/usercert.pem
93
94
95
96 Recreating a single file with public and private key to be improted into a broser:
97
