                         PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
                         ===================

cigetcert gets an X.509 certificate from a SAML 2.0 Service Provider (SP) such as CILogon using the Enhanced Client or Proxy (ECP) profile. Optionally it can also get a grid proxy certificate and/or transfer a grid proxy to MyProxy. It was developed for the Fermilab Distributed Computing Access with Federated Identities (DCAFI) project but is intended to be usable by other projects.
