perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Maciej Matachowski" <>]

Hi,
Now I'm configuring the AS basic configuration. Can somebody explain
me what some fields mean and what shall I put if I want to register to
LS.
So mandatory fields are:

LS Configuration:
LS URL  ----> http://localhost:8080/xml-ls/service/LookupService/
Service Access Point ------> Should I put there :
http://localhost:8080/geant2-java-as/services/AuthService

Administrator Configuration: like in the instruction.

Authentication Configuration:
There is TrustStore and Certificate Authority configuration. Should I
leave the patch like it is there?
How can I get the password to truststore file?
What about Component IDs in eduGAIN ?


Regards,
Maciej
