I have actually already have a nersc cert. It's automatic with your account.
Test a gridftp from from RCF site
- ssh rssh.rhic.bnl.gov
- ssh to stargrid node (01,02,03,04) , e.g. ssh stargrid01
- create proxy at stargrid node : myproxy-logon -s nerscca.nersc.gov -t 240
You specify how long you want your cert to last with '-t hours' option. The limit is ~11 days. - verify proxy expiration time : grid-proxy-info
