Account management

Account Information

Users can see their account information on the service website. On the right side use the section 'Login for cluster users' and log in with your user.

Phone Number and Email Address Management

Only the project manager or secretary has the authority to update phone numbers and email addresses on the projects' detail page. These details are listed under the section labelled User Accounts.

For VSC-4 and VSC-5, a valid mobile phone number is essential due to the requirement for two-factor authentication (password and SMS token).

Phone number changes

When updating a phone number, a new authentication token will be generated. This process may take up to 30 minutes. In some cases, particularly with US phone numbers, immediate functionality might be delayed due to required adaptations by our provider.

Alternative authentication

If you are unable to use a mobile phone number, it is possible to obtain a hardware security key (YubiKey) as an alternative method for two-factor authentication. Please contact us for this option.

Password

Users can change their password at the menu item 'change password' on the left.

SSH keys

Users can add their SSH keys in the account info section, by clicking on 'add new SSH key' and copying the public key there.

For some multi-node applications using MPI

Some applications will require the ssh-key to be stored in authorized_keys file inside the .ssh directory in your $HOME directory. To do this,

  • cd $HOME/.ssh
  • ssh-keygen
  • enter anyfile name
  • enter passphrase if needed, or press enter
  • repeat or press enter respectivley
  • cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys

Statistics

Cluster usage (core-h, storage files and space) is visualised for each user via the 'view statistics' item on the left.
