## SIG group membership
991dca
991dca
There is no current form that you can use to be added in a SIG group but you have to reach out to a SIG chair (having delegated rights to add/remove people in the SIG group you want to join) and he can then add you, after having confirmed that you can be onboarded in the SIG
991dca
991dca
To know people who can "sponsors" you in a SIG/group, you can , once authenticated, search for a group on the portal and then see people listed under the "Sponsors" area (for example, consider the [Automotive SIG](https://accounts.centos.org/group/sig-automotive/)

## Retrieving your TLS certificate
991dca
991dca
To be able to request a signed TLS certificate, you need first to install the cli tool that will use kerberos auth first to request a locally generated (automatic) CSR to be sent to IPA for signing operation and you'll then get your certificate back.
991dca
991dca
Supported Linux distributions: CentOS 8/8-s , Fedora 32,33,34
991dca
991dca
```
991dca
sudo dnf install -y epel-release # only if you are on CentOS 8 / 8-stream not needed for Fedora
991dca
sudo dnf install -y centos-packager
991dca
```
991dca
991dca
Your user certificate bundle comes in the form of 1 file:
991dca
991dca
~/.centos.cert : PEM file with your X509 Client Certificate and Key
991dca
991dca
To generate your certificate you can use the 'centos-cert' tool included in the centos-packager package:
991dca
991dca
```
991dca
 centos-cert 
991dca
991dca
You need to call the script like this : /usr/bin/centos-cert -arguments
991dca
 -u : username ([REQUIRED] : your existing ACO/FAS username)
991dca
 -v : just validates the existing TLS certificate ([OPTIONAL])
991dca
 -r : REALM to use for kerberos ([OPTIONAL] : defaults to FEDORAPROJECT.ORG)
991dca
 -f : fasjson url ([OPTIONAL]: defaults to https://fasjson.fedoraproject.org)
991dca
 -h : display this help
991dca
```
991dca
991dca
If you've signed up with the account name `tuser`, you can generate your new certificate like this:
991dca
991dca
```
991dca
    [tuser@myworkstation]$ centos-cert -u tuser 
991dca
```
991dca
991dca
!!! note 
991dca
    Attention that centos-cert -u tuser will request a new certificate, so that will automatically revoke any other certificate you had in the past. If you need to use cbs/koji on multiple machines, just copy the files mentioned above on the other machine.
991dca
991dca
!!! warning
991dca
    Important note WRT OTP: If you have enabled Two Factor auth, you absolutely need to get a valid kerberos ticket through other step *before* using centos-cert. See details on the [Fedora Accounts Documentation](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-accounts/user/#twofactor) for this
