Getting an accountΒΆ

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.
