Belle II Registration FAQ

I have already a Grid user certifcate?

Belle II collaborators who have a already a Grid user certificate and are already member of the VO 'belle' can go directly to the registration portal. Make sure the Grid user certificate is in the browser!

I have a already a DESY account?

Belle II collaborators who have already a DESY account should contact b2-registration-support@belle2.org. The account can be used for Belle II. A Grid user certificate and the membership in the VO 'belle' is strongly recommended though.

Is my Grid user certificate in the browser?

Check existence and validity of your Grid user certificate in your firefox browser in Preferences / Advanced / Certificates / View Certificates / Your Certificate .

I want to change my password?

 Login to 'bastion.desy.de' and use the command 'passwd'. It connects to the DESY registry which manages the access to afs, web pages, and ATLASSIAN tools (confluence, stash, agira, bamboo). The Sympa ML server and Indico are not managed automatically.

I changed my DESY password using 'passwd' on a DESY login host?

The command 'passwd' issued on a DESY login host, e.g. 'bastion.desy.de', connects to the DESY registry which manages the access to afs, web pages, and ATLASSIAN tools (confluence, stash, agira, bamboo). The Sympa ML server and Indico are not managed automatically.

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

How to test my Grid user certificate in ~/.globus ?

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.

The directory:

> cd ~/.globus

> ls -l

-r--r--r-- 1  usercert.pem

-r-------- 1  userkey.pem

Checking if public (cert) and private (key) match:

Checking subject, issuer, and validity dates:

> openssl x509 -subject -issuer -email -dates -noout -in ~/.globus/usercert.pem

Recreating a single file with public and private key to be improted into a broser:

> openssl pkcs12 -export -out my_cert.p12 -inkey userkey.pem -in usercert.pem
