If you are not a resident in a Nordic country (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland or Sweden), you must ask your local certificating authority (CA) about the procedure. NorduGrid client installation has only necessary utilities, but is not distributed with all the national CA configuration files. Obtain from your CA the files globus-host-ssl.conf.xxxxxxxx globus-user-ssl.conf.xxxxxxxx grid-security.conf.xxxxxxxx (here xxxxxxxx depends on your national CA identity) and store them in the proper directory: /etc/grid-security/certificates or $NORDUGRID_LOCATION/etc/certificates if you have installed a standalone client. After doing this, type grid-cert-request -int -ca and answer the questions. Please note that some of the fields are not supposed to be changed. The grid-cert-request program will generate a certificate request for that should be sent to your CA by e-mail.
