Diagnosis
The client could not authenticate the service.
Solution
- Is the CA for the service present on the client machine?
- Is it still valid? Check with: openssl x509 -noout -text -in the_CA_file
- Check $X509_CERT_DIR (instead of /etc/grid-security/certificates) if defined.
- Is the CA perhaps overridden by a file in your ~/.globus directory?
- Are the certificate revocation lists (CRLs) up to date?
- See also 7_authentication_failed
- Is the time correct on the client and the server? If the client's time is ahead of the server's time, the service might consider a fresh proxy not yet valid.
