The FreeNX facility is an open-source client-server application for X11 compression. It offers you an X11 login environment on your local machine (e.g. laptop) with the look and feel as if you are working locally on your remote server. Benefits of the Nomachine NX server * very fast, full graphical desktop (even over dial-up modem) * much faster than VNC * far more secure than VNC * simple and reliable configuration, based on OpenSSH * source code available under GNU Public Licen…

For the impatient: skip text and jump to the . (Assumes you have a grid certificate available and have been placed in the VOMS /lofar/user group.) Installation of grid middleware used to be quite challenging although their is now often reasonable support via linux installation packages (see e.g. the page on SRM software installation. It is however possible to deploy the required client tools without the need for root access and reasonably independent of the OS, The setup below has been tested o…

The following documentation was developed for the installation of a GRID tools and certificates on an Ubuntu 12.04 system using a bash shell (using .bashrc as a configuration script). We have not tested the installation using csh derivatives but it is to be expected that not all scripts will work. Thanks to Martin van den Akker for providing notes of his installation procedure.

Installation of certificates Obtaining a personal grid certificate * Request a user certificate via the Terena eScience portal (federated European organisations) or jGridstart (other Dutch organisations) and follow the instructions. A good starting point for finding your certificate authority if not available from these sites is: (Europe) or (World wide). Contact Science Support if none of the above works. * Install the c…
