Registration

In order to make use of the WeNMR GRID platform, one needs to obtain a GRID user certificate and register at the e-NMR VO (Virtual Organisation) using that certificate. Always use the same web-browser for requesting, obtaining and registering the personal GRID certificate. Although most web-browsers are suitable, we would recommend to use Mozilla Firefox.

To register and start using the WeNMR services the following steps should be taken:

1. Request a personal GRID certificate (and load it into your web browser, see e.g. here how to do it)
2. Register with the enmr.eu VO (using the web browser in which you loaded your certificate)
   • in case of trouble registering, see the following troubleshooting page on the WeNMR wiki
3. Register individualy to each service (Web Portal) you want to use.

Once using our services, please cite WeNMR in any resulting publication.

Request a personal GRID certificate:

When from Europe, visit the website of the European GRID Policy Management Authority (EUGridPMA) to find the Certification Authority (CA) of your country. International users can visit the website of the International Grid Trust Federation (IGTF). Useful information about CAs can also be found from the CHAIN project web site. Click on your region of interest to find more information about regional CAs and other useful links.

To request a first personal GRID certificate one generally needs to identify oneself in person with a passport or drivers licence to a Registration Authority (RA) of the CA.

Register with the e-NMR VO:

Visit the enmr.eu VOMS server (https://voms2.cnaf.infn.it:8443/voms/enmr.eu) with the web-browser containing your personal GRID certificate. If you don't know how to upload your GRID certificate in your browser have a look here.

Enter your personal data (name, e-mail address and telephone number) and organisation. You will receive an e-mail to confirm this request. One of the e-NMR VO administrators will approve your request. 

Should you encounter problems with your browser, please have a look at this troubleshooting page
