Possible login problems

See here how to get support from the support team.

login node/graphical node cannot be reached

  • Make sure you are in a network which has permission to access ASC or you are connected via wireguard.
  • If you are not inside a partner university network, connect to said network via VPN or use a wireguard connection.
  • Check if you can reach other servers/websites independent from ASC.
  • Check if our login nodes are up and running on our status page
  • Try different login nodes.
  • If none of that is valid, contact us via support ticket.

Jupyterhub cannot be reached

  • Jupyterhub is reachable from every network, no VPN or campus network is needed.
  • Check if you can reach other servers/websites independent from ASC.
  • Contact support team via ticket.

Connection closed or refused

  • This is often a faulty login node, just try again or try a specific node.
  • If it still does not work, contact via support.

Username unknown or not accepted

  • Make sure you have a user (the one for the service website is a different one).
  • Make sure you typed correctly.
  • Make sure you use the correct user (you might have several on ASC, or accidentally use the one from your institution).
  • If none of that is valid, contact us via support ticket.

Password not accepted

  • Make sure you typed correctly.
  • Make sure you use the correct user (you might have several on ASC, or accidentally use the one from your institution).
  • Ask your project manager/PI if your project or user is still active (or check yourself on the service page if you are the manager).
  • If you are not sure you remember correctly, ask your project manager to reset your password.
  • If none of that is valid, contact us via support ticket.

OTP is never received

  • Check if you have cellular connection (data connection is not needed).
  • Reboot your phone.
  • Check if your messenger has a spam folder.
  • If none of that is valid, contact us via support ticket.

foreign numbers

Normally, non-austrian numbers work as well, but sometimes text messaging might be delayed or some roaming problems may occur. The following countries have failed very often in our experience: Italy, China, Iran

Yubikey

If you are using a Yubikey as OTP, contact us to have it re-synced.

OTP is not accepted

  • Make sure the spelling is correct.
  • Check if the login attempt and the OTP reception are longer apart than 10 minutes (it is only valid for 10 minutes after you entered the password).
  • If none of that is valid, contact us via support ticket.

HOME directory or home environment not present.

  • The node might be broken, try another node to log in.
  • Otherwise, contact us via support ticket.
