What should I do if I suspect that my grid certificate key pair has been compromised (certificate and/or key file stolen, certificate passphrase hacked, etc.)?
If your certificate has been compromised, you should report this immediately to DOEgrids in order to protect your grid identity. However, this procedure should not be taken lightly and should be used only in the case of compromise, as the procedure renders your certificate unusable and can not be reversed. • Browse to the DOEgrids Certificate Manager site. • Click the Revocation tab. • Under Revocation Reason, choose Key Compromise, and then click Submit. • Follow the instructions in Renewing a Grid Certificate for renewing an expired certificate to request a replacement. Be sure to specify in the Additional Comments field that your certificate was compromised and that you have requested its revocation.
