In order to make use of the EGI HTC and Federated Cloud platforms, one needs to obtain an IGTF compliant user certificate and register at the enmr.eu VO (Virtual Organisation) using that certificate. Always use the same web-browser for requesting, obtaining and registering the personal certificate. Although most web-browsers are suitable, we would recommend to use Mozilla Firefox.

Request a personal certificate

When from Europe, visit the website of the European GRID Policy Management Authority (EUGridPMA) to find the Certification Authority (CA) of your country. International users can visit the website of the International Grid Trust Federation (IGTF). Useful information about CAs can also be found from the CHAIN project web site. Click on your region of interest to find more information about regional CAs and other useful links.
