GenesisII-Known-Problems
From VCGR Wiki
The following list gives an account of known problems and issues with the current release of the Genesis II platform.
- Credential Timeout : The Genesis II system employs an X.509 credentialing system for much of its AuthN and AuthZ. When users log in using an X.509 certificate, they are given a delegated credential which is only good for a small duration of time (usually 24 hours). This value can be increased by using the optional --valid-duration argument to the login command. For long running services that store this credential (such as the queue or the BES), jobs which live beyond this time limit can suddenly find themselves denied permission to execute after the credential times out.
- ExportDir GUI : Java comes with a Swing dialog for selecting local files and directories which the ExportDir GUI uses. Unfortunately, on Windows this GUI can, in some circumstances, wedge indefinitely while consuming either 0, or 100% of the CPU (depending on circumstances). To avoid this problem, the dialog has been completely disabled on Windows platforms.
