▲== How to get a Grid User Certificate ==
# ssh to the LZ login server at Wisconsin if you have an account there
# we can provide you an account if you need one, send mail to [mailto:help@hep.wisc.edu here]
# or your machine with access to grid tools
ssh <login name>@lzlogin.hep.wisc.edu
# create voms-proxy
voms-proxy-init --voms=lz ## it will prompt password for you to type
# This will tell you that you are grid user with LZ VO
gsido whoami (should return something like lz00x)
# Create your user directory in
gsido mkdir -p /hdfs/lz/user/<login name>
# Copy files from local directory to the storage area
gsido cp <some file> /hdfs/lz/user/<login name>
# Copy files using Grid computing copy clients and storage elements
lcg-cp /tmp/tmpfile -bvvD srmv2 srm://cmssrm2.hep.wisc.edu:8443/srm/v2/server?SFN=/hdfs/lz/user/tapas/tt
gfal-copy -v file:///tmp/tmpfile srm://cmssrm2.hep.wisc.edu:8443/srm/v2/server?SFN=/hdfs/lz/user/tapas/
== Accessing LZ CVMFS repository ==

* The workaround is to do the following:
1) In FireFox, enter "about:config" in the URL field and press enter.
2) Accept the "This might void your warranty!" warning
3) In the search field at the top, enter "security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes"
4) Double click each result (128 and 256) to toggle the Value to "false"
