<br/>

= Login =
After finishing the web registration '''''bwUniCluster''''' is ready for your '''SSH''' based login.
'''''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.
