Preparing the grid mapfile

The grid mapfile is the same as that used in other applications. It can be created in various ways, either by connecting directly to VOMS or GUMS servers, or by hand.

Each line contains two fields: a DN (Certificate Subject) in quotes, and the username it is to be mapped to.

"/DC=org/DC=doegrids/OU=People/CN=Gina Carlson 584065" uscms01

When using the grid-mapfile plugin, the torage-authzdb file must also be configured. See the section called “Configuring storage-authzdb” for details.
