[geclipse-dev] Some important changes in code

Hi All,

 

I just would like to inform you about some important changes in the code.

 

1)       The CA certificate management was completely reworked in order to easily handle plain PEM certificates (i.e. Gilda) and to make the CA certificate management more extensible. Therefore you should delete your old certificates by hand and reload all certificates with the new method. Here is a short HowTo:

a.       Go to your runtime-workspace/.metadata/.plugins/eu.geclipse.core/.certs and delete all files in there.

b.       Start g-Eclipse and go to the CA certificate preference page.

c.       By pressing “Add from Repository…” your are starting the new import wizard.

d.       Select the “European Policy Management Authority for Grid Authentication” CA loader and press “Next”.

e.       Go with the proposed URL and press “Next”. The URL is now searched for available certificates.

f.         Choose the certificates that you would like to import (Recommended is to “Select All”) and press “Finish”.

The certificates are now imported as usual. To import a Gilda certificate try the following:

g.       Go to https://gilda.ct.infn.it/CA/mgt/getCA.php and choose PEM as certificate format.

h.       Copy and paste the certificate data to a local file (The file extension should either be .pem or .0).

i.         Go to the CA certificate preference page and select “Add from Directory…”.

j.         Select the “PEM Based Certificate Loader” and press “Next”.

k.       Specify the directory to where you saved the certificate and press “Next”.

l.         The file should now appear. Select it and press “Finish”.

 

2)       There is a new plugin in the SVN called eu.geclipse.core.filesystem.test so please update your workspaces accordingly.

 

If you find any issues or bugs just tell me or even better tell it Bugzilla ;-)

 

Cheers, Mathias
