Hi,
Based on comments in a recent ct grid meeting i've been playing around with
the terena certificates. This nice service enables members of accredited
organisations to apply for a certificate while using their home instutions
credential to identify themselves.
I have requested a certificate en succesfully became a member of a VO.
Be carefull: Changing your certificate dn would mean you will have problems
accessing your previous data.

I have one question: are these fully qualified certificates for grid use, or
are their any differences? Are their any issues we would have to reckon
with? Does anybody have experiences with job-submission using a terena
certificate?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Tom
