First, see the iRODS install KB for how to build iRODS with GSI.
Do an grid-proxy-init, to see your full DN. Copy it!
Open up the iRODS admin with the 'iadmin' command (using the password auth).
Do:

iadmin>aua [user-name] "[your-DN]"

(You need to use dots around the DN, since it contains spaces)

You can check that it worked, with:

iadmin>lua

Exit iadmin with Ctrl-D.
Edit your ~/.irods/.irodsEnv file, and add the line:

irodsAuthScheme=GSI

Now try to do ils, iadmin or anything similar. If it works, you're fine!
