Chapter 6: Deploying The Globus Toolkit 4.0.x

Installing Updated Packages

There are two updates that are necessary for this tutorial, both having to do with the Simple Certificate Authority (CA) component of the toolkit.

Begin by setting up your environment so that it is easy to use the Globus tools:

[globus@nodeB ~]$ source /opt/globus-4.0.1/etc/globus-user-env.sh

You can download the two update packages using these 'wget' commands (download into any directory you like):

Note: The following code appears on multiple lines, but it is 'one' line of code

wget http://www-unix.globus.org/ftppub/gt4/4.0/4.0.1/updates/
src/globus_simple_ca-0.15.tar.gz
wget http://www-unix.globus.org/ftppub/gt4/4.0/4.0.1/updates/
src/globus_simple_ca_setup-0.27.tar.gz

Next install both of the update packages using the 'gpt-build' command with the '-update' flag:

[globus@nodeB ~]$ gpt-build -update ./globus_simple_ca-0.15.tar.gz
[globus@nodeB ~]$ gpt-build -update ./globus_simple_ca_setup-0.27.tar.gz
