Q1: When my personal certificate identify changes? Your certificate identity will change if for example:
- you move and get a certificate from a different Certification Authority (CA)
- your CA changes the format of your certificate Subject (or DN)
- your CA changes its own (the Issuer) certificate Subject (or DN)
Q2: What happens if my personal certificate is renewed? If there are no changes to the certificate identity when the certificate is renewed then no action is necessary for your VO membership.
Q3: What happens if my personal certificate identify changes? ' If your the identity (the Subject or DN) of your personal certificate changes you must register the new identity in the VO(s) you are member of in order to maintain access to the Grid. The correct actions to be undertaken depend on the registration service that the VO uses (VOMS Admin or VOMSRS). Information on the type of registration service used can be obtained from the VO ID Card available from the EGI Operations Portal, or by contacting the VO Manager (VO Manager contact information is also available in the VO ID Card).
