| After all that, you should register with **[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VOMS|VOMS]]**, get and install **GRID certificates** on your local computer and computing accounts. These certificates give you authorized acces to a number of grid computing services. Follow the steps lined out [[https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/viewauth/CMS/DQMGUIGridCertificate|here]] and [[https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMSPublic/WorkBookStartingGrid|here]].
