[seek-dev] Re: Can't run the client

[Jing Tao]

Hi, Rod:

I just came back from vacation and am sorry didn't reply you for a long 
time.

I already has a solution to fix the issue that - can't establish a 
security context. In my situation, I didn't put grid-security dir in /etc 
dir in my machine ( in this client machine, I doesn't install gt3). So if 
you doesn't install gt3 in your client machine, you should put 
grid-security dir in /etc. I think there are some instructions in README 
file. If your client machine does install gt3, you don't need to do it.

The second reason you can't establish security context to 
http://pine.nceas.ucsb.edu:8080/ogsa/service is because you didn't have 
account in pine and I didn't add the mapping between local user and ca 
user in grid-mapfile.

Hope this is helpful.
