Getting an account

The account you need to use the Portable testbed depends on the location where you will use it:

• If an Internet uplink is available, then a regular Fed4FIRE/GENI account can be used.
• If the portable testbed will be used offline, then you will have to request an offline account.

To use the portable testbed with a Fed4FIRE account (only when the portable testbed has an internet uplink!) :

• Request an account at the Fed4FIRE Portal and download your certificate as PEM.
• Start an experiment by using jFed at http://jfed.iminds.be/. Use the PEM file to authenticate yourself.

To request an offline account :

• Request an OpenVPN account by e-mail (pieter.becue AT intec.ugent.be)
• Request an account at https://www.portable.ilabt.iminds.be/reqaccount.php3 and download your certificate as PEM (from the Profile page).
• Install jFed. Use the PEM file to authenticate yourself.
• This version of jFed still needs an active internet connection (probably over wireless) when it starts. This will soon be fixed.
• Be sure to disable all proxies in jFed when using the offline account.
