 These instructions are to test if you are able to log into the GENI Portal using the username and password you use at your home institution, and, in the event that fails, to help you request a GENI account.  (Note: GENI never sees your home institution username and password. For more information on how this works, see http://www.incommon.org/federation/basics.html.)
