  |||
= Login =  | 
  |||
After finishing the web registration '''''bwUniCluster''''' is ready for your '''SSH''' based login with your '''home-organizational password'''.  | 
  |||
'''''bwUniCluster''''' has two dedicated login nodes. The selection of the login node is done automatically and is based on a round-robin scheduling. Logging in another time the session might run   | 
  |||
on the other login node.  | 
  |||
Only the secure shell '''SSH''' is allowed to login. Other protocols like '''telnet''' or '''rlogin'''  | 
  |||
are not allowed for security reasons.  | 
  |||
A connection to '''''bwUniCluster''''' can be established by the command:  | 
  |||
<pre>  | 
  |||
$ ssh <UserID>@bwunicluster.scc.kit.edu  | 
  |||
</pre>  | 
  |||
If you are using '''OpenSSH''' (usually installed on Linux based systems) and you want to use a GUI-based application on '''''bwUniCluster''''' you should use the   | 
  |||
''ssh'' command with the option ''-X''  | 
  |||
<pre>  | 
  |||
$ ssh -X <UserID>@bwunicluster.scc.kit.edu  | 
  |||
</pre>  | 
  |||
== About UserID / Username ==  | 
  |||
'''<UserID>''' of the ssh command is a placeholder for your '''''username''''' at your home   | 
  |||
organization together with a '''''prefix''''' as followed:  | 
  |||
* KIT:  <UserID> = username ''(without any prefix)''  | 
  |||
* Mannheim: <UserID> = ma_username  | 
  |||
* Heidelberg: <UserID> = hd_username  | 
  |||
* Stuttgart: <UserID> = st_username  | 
  |||
* Tübingen: <UserID> = tu_username  | 
  |||
* Ulm: <UserID> = ul_username  | 
  |||
* Freiburg: <UserID> = fr_username  | 
  |||
* Konstanz: <UserID> = kn_username  | 
  |||
== About Password ==  | 
  |||
By default, for KIT members your bwUniCluster '''password''' to log on matches  that one of your KIT   | 
  |||
account, while for all non-KIT members your bwUniCluster '''password''' is that one you saved during the web registration (compare step 7 of chapter 1.2).   | 
  |||
At any time, you can set a new bwUniCluster password via the registration website [https://bwidm.scc.kit.edu/ https://bwidm.scc.kit.edu] by doing the following steps:  | 
  |||
# visit [https://bwidm.scc.kit.edu/ https://bwidm.scc.kit.edu] and select your home organization   | 
  |||
# authenticate yourself via your home-organizational user id / username and your home-organizational password  | 
  |||
# find on the left side '''bwUniCluster''' and select '''Dienstpasswort setzen'''  | 
  |||
# set new service, i.e. bwUniCluster, password, repeat it and click '''Save button'''.  |
