Prior to using Globus Online from ESG Gateway, a Globus Online account must be set up and linked with your ESG account. This is a one time setup that only needs to be completed once.
-
Sign up for a Globus Online account if you do not have an account already.
-
Sign in to Globus Online (using your Globus Online username and password)
-
Click the "My Profile" option from the page or from the drop down menu in the top bar.
-
Select "Manage Identities" from the menu options on the left.
-
The next step walks you through determining what your ESG public key is (which is needed to link your Globus Online account to your ESG identity). It is broken up into several smaller steps to help simplify it.
-
Open a terminal/command line session, but keep the Globus Online website loaded in another window.
-
Download and Launch MyProxyLogon in order to retrieve a credential as follows:
wget http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~neillm/esg/esg-myproxy-logon.sh
curl -O http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~neillm/esg/esg-myproxy-logon.sh
sh esg-myproxy-logon.sh
-
Provide your P2P node password when prompted
-
Now we need to inspect the retrieved credential to find your Public Key. At the command line still, type the following
cat ~/.esg/credentials.pem
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... DATA ... -----END CERTIFICATE------- ---BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- ... DATA ... -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
-
In particular, we're ONLY interested in the first section starting with "BEGIN CERTIFICATE" and ending with "END CERTIFICATE". Copy that entire block (including the "END CERTIFICATE" line). Be careful NOT to copy any of the section start with the "BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY" line.
-
Now, switch back to the Globus Online website and Select "Add X.509 Certificate" near the middle of the screen.
- Type any name you'd like to refer to this key, and paste the copied certificate into the section asking for it.
Congratulations, the Globus Online account is now set up for transfer via the ESG Gateway!
