MDSplus can be built with secure network communication using the Globus software. This enables the use of X509 certificates for authentication and authorization when communicating to remote MDSplus servers (enabled for secure connections). The following will describe the steps needed to build and install the necessary Globus packages required and then those steps needed to build and install MDSplus with the secure communication capabilities.
| Step | Action | Command |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Install Fedora software packages needed | See Linux - Fedora. Install all required packages on that page except the Build MDSplus step. |
| 2 | Get Globus source |
firefox http://www.globus.org/toolkit/downloads/latest-stable/ |
| 3 | Build Globus Packages Needed |
yum install perl-XML-LibXML tar xjf globus-tarball-downloaded cd gt[version]-all-source-installer ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/fusiongrid make gpt globus-data-management-client gsi-openssh myproxy\ globus_gridmap_callout_error globus_gridftp_server globus_gram_client globus_gram_job_manager\ globus_xio globus_xio_gsi_driver make install |
| 4 | Get MDSplus sources |
Recommended: firefox http://www.mdsplus.org/index.php?url=mdsplus/download.php&page=Software/Downloads Alternate (one of): wget https://github.com/MDSplus/mdsplus/archive/alpha.zip wget https://github.com/MDSplus/mdsplus/archive/alpha.tar.gz wget https://github.com/MDSplus/mdsplus/archive/stable.zip wget https://github.com/MDSplus/mdsplus/archive/stable.tar.gz git clone https://github.com/MDSplus/mdsplus.git |
| 5 | Build MDSplus. |
Make sure that the LANG environment variable is set to a non-UTF8 locale (e.g. en_US or the generation of UID files will fail and some applications mysteriously segfault. cd mdsplus export GLOBUS_LOCATION=/usr/local/fusiongrid source $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus-user-env.sh ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/fusiongrid --with-xio=/usr/local/fusiongrid:gcc32 make make install |
| 6 | Set up remote access for users and server |
Assuming DOEGrids/FusionGrid certificates: Download certs.tar and put contents in /etc/grid-security/certificates wget http://cert.fusiongrid.org/FusionGrid/certs.tar tar certs.tar --directory /etc/grid-security/certificates |
| 7 | Set up remote access for server |
Assuming DOEGrids/FusionGrid certificates: Download doegrids.tar and put contents in /etc/grid-security/ wget https://pki1.doegrids.org/other/doegrids.tar tar doegrids.tar --directory /etc/grid-security
doegrids-cert-request -host thishost.thisdomain |
