Prerequisites
To submit jobs via Nordugrid ARC middleware, you need:
- Grid user certificate
This is best obtained from CERN: CERN CA. Being registered with CERN HR and having a CERN computer account are the pre-requisites. Users with FNAL accounts can obtain a certificate from the relevant FERMILAB CA. From those not eligible to either solution above, there is the possibility of requesting a certificate via the Swiss CA
- ARC client
Users operating from the UIs (recommended) can setup the client from CVMFS:
# export ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE=/cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/ATLASLocalRootBase
# source ${ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE}/user/atlasLocalSetup.sh
# lsetup emi
Otherwise installing a local client on any linux machine is possible by following the instructions for your specific operating system: Install ARC client
- Have the certificate registered with a Virtual Organisation (VO), e.g. for ATLAS, browse to the [https://lcg-voms2.cern.ch:8443/voms/atlas/user/home.action ATLAS VOMS service). The prerequisite for this step is having installed your personal certificate in your browser
