The dCache health check failed on all SRM tests with the following:
SRMClientV1 : org.globus.common.ChainedIOException: Authentication failed [Caused by: Defective credential detected [Caused by: [JGLOBUS-96] Certificate "DC=org,DC=doegrids,OU=Services,CN=cmsdcache03.hep.wisc.edu" expired]]
The only thing I could find to explain this was that the clock on
cmsdcache03 was about 4 minutes fast. I reset it with 'date' but that
didn't immediately fix the problem. I then restarted dcache-srm and
things started working again.
I don't know for sure that the clock skew was responsible, but clock
skew can cause this sort of authentication problem. I don't understand
why ntpd allowed the clock to drift so much. Maybe I just wasn't
patient enough to wait for it to synchronize.
