Greetings,

I can't find info in the wiki about setting up Cross-Project certificates for users. For that matter I don't see any info on Certificates in general.

Project cross-project certificate link doesn't work (gives error) and it appears to point to: http://boinc.netsoft-online.com/get_user.php which gives an Forbidden error. I tried looking at the forum but there's no info in regards to how you configure this.

Would someone be able to point us in the right direction?

Thanks,

Yavanius

You're trying to set up the user account details on a project server web-site, right?

Looking at a working project, the link should be calling cert_all.php on your own server - the actual call is at https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/blob/master/html/inc/user.inc#L191

The ultimate data will be retrieved from netsoft-online, which assembles all the official cross-project data from known projects for BOINC to use centrally. But that call is made a lot further down the web include spaghetti.

http://boinc.netsoft-online.com/get_user.php

IIRC, some morons were screen scraping stats from that page and creating too much load on the server. Because of that the page is accessible for only those in a whitelist. You need to get into contact with sysadmin there to get your project whitelisted.

Yeah, I did get it contact with James. He got us setup so we get the stats. There was a sticky from 2007 there that apparently they overlooked updating. ;)

I'm not sure who to contact in regards to the BOINC setup instructions on the wiki so the part about the certificates can be added in.

But, I do these things... I just have to go touching stuff nobody else bothers toucheing and errors start happening... ^_^
