Certificates are PEM/Base64 encoded ASCII files. OpenSSL can be used to decode and display certificate components. The expiry of the various ECaccess services can be displayed with the command ecaccess-certificate-list:

As can be seen from the output, for a normal user-id the validity is 168 hours (7 days) for all services. The date/time shown refers to the expiration of the certificate.

| Domain value | Purpose |
| home: | the ecgate Atos HPC $HOME file system |
| scratch: | the ecgate Atos HPC $SCRATCH file system |
| ec: | the ECFS domain ec: |
| ectmp: | the ECFS domain ectmp: |
| host-name: | any server at ECMWF, e.g. c2aecs-login |
If no domain is specified then an absolute path will translate to an absolute path on the ecgate server Atos HPC and a relative path will translate to a path in the HOME directory of the current user. If no user-id is specified then the current user-id is selected by default. When you specify a host-name you are by default under the root directory; the user-id parameter can not be used with a host-name. File location examples:
| bin/a.out | file a.out in directory $HOME/bin of the current user |
| home:bin/a.out | file a.out in directory $HOME/bin of the current user |
| /tmp/a.out | file a.out in directory /tmp on ecgateecs-login |
| home:/xzy/bin/a.out | file a.out in directory $HOME/bin of user xzy |
| ec:bin/a.out | file a.out in directory bin in the current user's ECFS domain ec: |
| ec:/xzy/bin/a.out | file a.out in directory bin in user xzy's ECFS domain ec: |
| c2ahpc-login:/c2aec/tmp/groupvol/xzy/a.out | file a.out in directory /c2aec/tmp/systemsvol/xzy/ on c2ahpc-login |
