VOMS server configuration
-------------------------
In addition to the voms-server package a voms database plugin is needed.
Plugins exists for mysql and oracle. Since the oracle client libraries
are not open source software, only the mysql plugin is available in
Fedora. To install the voms-mysql-plugin issue the following command
as root:
yum install voms-mysql-plugin
Before starting the server, you must create the databases used by
VOMS. It is possible to run more than one VOMS server on a single host
as long as they are configured to use different ports.
You should have the grid CA certificates installed in
/etc/grid-security/certificates before running the VOMS database
creation script.
To create the databases run the following command as root for each
VOMS server you want to run:
/usr/share/voms/voms_install_db \
--voms-vo=<voname> \
--port=<portnumber> \
--db-type=mysql \
--db-admin=<mysqladminuser> \
--db-pwd=<mysqladminpwd> \
--sqlloc=/usr/lib/voms/libvomsmysql.so
If you are running on a 64 bit host use instead:
--sqlloc=/usr/lib64/voms/libvomsmysql.so
The voms server is configured to run as a special voms user. This user
needs a copy of the host certificate and key:
cp -p /etc/grid-security/hostcert.pem /etc/grid-security/voms
cp -p /etc/grid-security/hostkey.pem /etc/grid-security/voms
chown voms:voms /etc/grid-security/voms/host*.pem
After creating the databases, start the server by running the command:
service voms start
If you want the server to be started automatically after each reboot run
the command:
chkconfig voms on
To check that the server is running and is configured correctly, run
the following command:
/usr/share/voms/voms-ping <voname>
