GridShib for Globus Toolkit Installation

A lightweight alternative to installing the full Globus Toolkit is to only install the Java WS Core component of GT4, and then install GridShib for GT on top of that. In fact, this is the only option under Windows, which does not support the full Globus Toolkit.

This page gives detailed instructions for installing Java WS Core and GridShib for GT on Windows. Software requirements include JDK 1.4.2 (or higher) and Ant 1.6 (or higher), which we assume are already installed on Windows.

1. Install binary version of Java WS Core 4.0.4
   1. Extract the ZIP archive to any folder on your hard drive.
   2. As a crude test, open a Command Prompt window, change directory to the installation directory, and start the container:

        > set GLOBUS_LOCATION=%CD%
        > bin\globus-start-container -nosec
        Starting SOAP server at: http://141.142.251.212:8080/wsrf/services/

2. Obtain a user certificate
   1. In the previous Command Prompt window, start the container:

        > bin\globus-start-container -nosec
        Starting SOAP server at: http://141.142.251.212:8080/wsrf/services/
        With the following services...

   2. Open another Command Prompt window, change directory to the installation directory, and try to stop the container:

        > set GLOBUS_LOCATION=%CD%
        > bin\globus-stop-container
        Error: ; nested exception is:
        GSSException: Defective credential detected [Caused by:

   3. Press Ctrl-C to abort the container.
   4. Request an X.509 end-entity certificate from the GridShib CA
   5. In the first Command Prompt window, start the container:

        > bin\globus-start-container -nosec

        With the following services...

   6. In the second Command Prompt window, try to stop the container again:

        > set GLOBUS_LOCATION=%CD%
        > bin\globus-stop-container
        Error: ; nested exception is:
        java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

   7. Try to stop the container one more time:
