Joining a Virtual Organisation
First steps with DIRAC
- Accessing the GridPP DIRAC server: access https://dirac.gridpp.ac.uk with your browser.
If your grid certificate has been successfully installed in your browser,
you should be asked to identify yourself with the certificate in question.
You will then see the GridPP DIRAC server homepage.
Check the bottom right-hand corner - if you can only see Visitor
and not your username and DN,
something has gone wrong and you are not (or rather, your certificate is not) not registered
with the GridPP DIRAC server.
- Joining the GridPP DIRAC mailing list: once you have
subscribed and have been approved,
you should be able to view the
subscribers list
from the
list homepage
and confirm that you are indeed on it.
