about grid certificates in general and how to get them can be found on

For this technology preview, only the certificates without password
can be used (both the client side and server side). Certificates with
password (for client side) will be supported when certificate
delegation is available.
For testing purposes, an "untrusted" certificate can be generated by
Please make sure correctly configure the certificates on client and service
sides. The configuration about certificate for MCCTLS in the service.xml
should like this:
<KeyPath>./key.pem</KeyPath>
<CertificatePath>./cert.pem</CertificatePath>
<CACertificatePath>./ca.pem</CACertificatePath>
or this:
<KeyPath>/etc/grid-security/hostkey.pem</KeyPath>
<CertificatePath>/etc/grid-security/hostcert.pem</CertificatePath>
<CACertificatesDir>/etc/grid-security/certificates</CACertificatesDir>
Note if you configure <CACertificatePath>, that implicitly means the certificates
for client and service sides are signed by one specific CA.
The key file can be with or without passphrase.
If you would test ARC with TLS support, the certificate generated by yourself ("untrusted"
certificate) is recommended; or you can also use some certificate genertated by authorized CA,
such as NorduGrid CA.
For testing, you can use the same certificates for the client and service sides.
For testing purposes, an "untrusted" self-signed certificate can be generated by
the following commands:
openssl genrsa 1024 > key.pem
