Last week Garry raised the problem of myproxy certificate timeouts when downloading data using wget scripts.
We have talked several times about increasing the default and/or maximum certificate lifetime for certificates issued by out myproxy servers. I recall we agreed to increase the maximum lifetime to 72 hours. This has been the case at the CEDA myproxy service for a few weeks now. I have tested PCMDI's service and it only issues certificates for 1 day.
Garry, if you have a CEDA OpenID you can get a 72 hour certificate if you use the myproxy-logon [1] or myproxyclient [2] tools by adding "-t 72" to your command. I'm not sure whether the most recent java webstart app allows you to set this. I hope PCMDI and other centres will deploy the 72 hour maximum lifetime soon. Would this meet your requirements?
