2. Operational issues
2.1 Report from DMSU
ARGUS/WMS Certificate Chain Mixups
- Affecting several sites, where WMS is unable to make SSL connection to ARGUS.
- With all probability this is a combination of using
curl
from the SL6 distribution, which in built with NSS SSL rather than OpenSSL and, as such, does not really support proxy certificates, and a bug in Java, hopefully fixed since Java 7 Update 60. - Related issues:
- This issue is already being investigated at 3rd level but PTs cannot decide who is responsible ant DMSU is overseeing.
CREAM CLI/GridSite SegFaults at Long-Lived Proxies
glite-ce-job-submit
crashes if the user's proxy certificate has a lifetime exceeding 240 hours (10 days)- 2 issues:
- one in GridSite for the segfault, forwarded to the GridSite PT to fix - UPDATE - fix provided wih GridSite v. 2.2.5 (issues #15)
- one in caNL-c - UPDATE - fix provided with caNL-c v. 2.1.5, issue #6
- Related issue:
