EGI-InSPIRE:JRA1 SHA2 Readiness
Operational Tools SHA2 Support Status
GOCDB
- We have tested a SHA2 user cert on GOCDB and no problems.
If using Apache2 - Should be handled by Apache without tool modification. Adding some useful info for other PTs about how to get a SHA2 cert and the CA certs for testing (originally via P.Solagna via D.Groep):
The easiest is to get an instant SHA2 test certificate from CILogon, using their (unaccredited) OpenID provider like Google:
and select "Google" from the list of IdPs. After signing in to Google and typing in a password, you can download a pkcs#12 file with your new certificate and private key (you have ~ 2min to do this). To get the conventional usercert.pem and userkey.pem, use openssl:
openssl pkcs12 -in myfile.p12 -info -out usercert.pem -nokeys openssl pkcs12 -in myfile.p12 -info -out userkey.pem -nocerts chmod 0600 userkey.pem
and give your passphrase a few times ;-) You can install the unaccredited OpenID CA just like the other IGTF CAs, but from the experimental repository:
SAM
SAM uses certificates in following components:
- Apache 2 - SHA-2 supported natively
- probes - SHA-2 readiness depends on probes.
Operations Portal

Messaging
test-msg02.afroditi.hellasgrid.gr running with the SHA-2 test CA. Everything works fine.
GGUS
No problems with SHA2 user certs on GGUS.
