---+++ Long term proxy utilities
   * [[http://egee-uig.web.cern.ch/egee-uig/production_pages/ProxyRenewal.html][More info]]

To create and store a long-term proxy, the user must follow the format:

=myproxy-init -s myproxy.cern.ch  -d -n=

where -s <myproxy_server> specifies the hostname of the machine where a MyProxy Server runs, the -d option instructs the server to associate the user DN to the proxy, and the -n option avoids the use of a passphrase to access the long-term proxy, so that the WMS can perform the renewal automatically. It is critical that the -d option be used. 

_By default, the long-term proxy lasts for one week and the proxies created from it last 12 hours. These lifetimes can be changed using either the -c and the -t option, but cannot be longer than the lifetime of the user certificate._

If the -s <myproxy_server> option is missing, the command will try to use the MYPROXY_SERVER environment variable to determine the MyProxy Server.
Retrieve information about a long-term proxy

To get information about a long-term proxy stored in a Proxy Server, the following command format is used:

=myproxy-info -s myproxy.cern.ch -d=

where the <myproxy_server>, -s and -d options have the same meaning as in the previous example. 
There must be a valid proxy on the UI, created with to successfully interact with the long-term proxy on the MyProxy server.
Deleting a long-term proxy

Deleting a stored long-term proxy is achieved by doing:

=myproxy-destroy -s myproxy.cern.ch -d=

<myproxy_server>, -s and -d options have the same meaning as in the previous example.
