+The accounts, that you used in the above steps, will be deactivated after the
+tutorial. If you do not already have an account at GPO's ProtoGENI cluster, you
+should get your own account so that you can further experiment with GENI.

 === 1b. Get a permanent account ===
+If you would like to run your own experiments in this infrastructure, please
+contact us at [mailto:help@geni.net] to get a permanent account.
+=== 2. Getting to Know Omni ===
+Now that you have your own account, you should configure Omni to use your own
+personal info, instead of the pre-made accounts.
+==== 2a. Generate and Download your ProtoGENI certificate ====
+      a. Start Firefox within the VM and
+[https://www.pgeni.gpolab.bbn.com/login.php3] log in to your account.
+      b. Select ''Generate SSL Cert'' and follow instructions.
+      c. Select ''Download your SSL Cert'' (it's on the left of the page), and
+click on the 'Download it in PEM format' link.
+      d. Copy the contents of the page (Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C)
+      e. Open a terminal (there is a shortcut on the top bar) under the
+omni_tutorial directory there should be an ssh directory
+      {{{
+cd omni_tutorial/ssh
+      }}}
+      f. Open a file called <username>_cert.pem, paste your cert(Ctrl-Shift-V)
+and save.
+      {{{
+pico <username>_cert.pem>
+Ctrl-Shift-V
+Ctrl-X
+      }}}
+      g. Remove the passphrase from your certificate. For security best
+practices you should keep a passphrase on your certificate. If you want to avoid
+typing your passphrase throughout the tutorial, you might want to temporarily
+remove your passphrase
+      {{{
+openssl rsa -in ./<username>_cert.pem -out ./<username>_cert_ct.pem
+openssl x509 -in ./<username>_cert.pem >> ./<username>_cert_ct.pem
+chmod 400 ./<username>_cert_ct.pem
+      }}}
+       If you want a way to type your passphrase only once per session, look
+[http://trac.gpolab.bbn.com/gcf/wiki/OmniTroubleShoot#Q.WhydoesOmnipromptformyPEMpassphrasesomanytimesCantOmnipromptonlyonce
+here].
+==== 2b. Generate a pair of private/public keys. ====
+In order to be able to login to the resources you will reserve will need a pair
+of keys. You can use any set of existing keys you might have, or you can
+generate a new pair. For security best practices you should  have a passphrase
+on your keys.
+{{{
+ssh-keygen -f <username>_key
+}}}
+Now you can go back to [wiki:GEC11NetworkingExperiments/Tutorial#I.ConfigureOmni
+(I)] and follow the steps using your own certificate and key.
