Access to the bwForCluster is only possible from IP addresses within the [https://www.belwue.de BelWü] network.
If your computer is in your University network (e.g. at your office), you should be able to connect directly.
From outside the BelWü network (e.g. at home), a VPN (virtual private network) connection to your University network must be established first. Please consult the VPN documentation of your University. You can learn your current hostname/IP at e.g. https://test-ipv6.belwue.net/

Login to bwForCluster bwForCluster JUSTUS 2 is only possible with a Secure Shell (SSH) client for which you must know your username on the cluster and the hostname of the login nodes.
For better security the log in to JUSTUS 2 requires two factors.
For more gneral information on SSH clients, visit the [[Registration/Login/Client|SSH clients Guide]].
In addition to your service password, a time-based one-time
password (TOTP) is required as second factor.


== Username ==
<b>To setup the TOTP system for your account, please follow the
instructions that are sent to you by email right after registering
for bwForCluster JUSTUS 2.</b>


In general the TOTP consists of a shared secret, that is stored
Your username on bwForCluster JUSTUS 2 consists of a prefix and your local username.
For prefixes please refer to the [[Registration/Login/Username|Username Guide]].
on our JUSTUS 2 servers <b>and</b> that is imported into a TOTP app
on your smartphone.


Example: If your local username at your University is <code>ab12</code> and you are a user from Ulm University, your username on the cluster is: <code>ul_abc12</code>.
With help of this app you can create a temporary TOTP value (6-digit number),
that must be entered while logging in to JUSTUS 2.
Please be aware that the TOTP value changes every 30 seconds.
So always enter the current 6-digit number as displayed by
the TOTP app.


== Hostnames ==
Another important thing to remember is, that the TOTP value is
valid only once. It is a <b>one time</b> password. Once entered correctly,
it can no longer be used. For example when you have entered
a correct TOTP value, but a wrong password, the login will ask
you for the TOTP value again. In such cases please wait for
a new TOTP, thus please wait for the next 30 seconds time frame.


JUSTUS 2 has four login nodes. We use DNS round-robin scheduling to load-balance the incoming connections between the nodes. If you are logging in multiple times, different sessions might run on different login nodes and hence programs started in one session might not be visible in another sessions.
Here are some examples for TOTP generator APPs. Please install
one of those APPs in preparation for scanning the QR code
when creating the shared secret.

== Login with SSH command (Linux, Mac, Windows) ==
Prerequisites for login:
* You have registered your account at the registration server for JUSTUS 2 (to register log in to the [[BwForCluster_User_Access#Personal_registration_at_bwForCluster|registration server of JUSTUS2]] and click on "Register" in section of "JUSTUS 2").
* You have set a service password for JUSTUS 2 (to do so login at the [[BwForCluster_User_Access#Personal_registration_at_bwForCluster|registration server of JUSTUS2]] and select "Set Password" in section "JUSTUS 2").
* You have created a TOTP shared secret and imported that secret into a TOTP app on your smartphone (for details see email send by registration server right after account registration).


Most Unix and Unix-like operating systems like Linux or MacOS come with a built-in SSH client provided by the OpenSSH project.
Thereafter you can access the bwForCluster JUSTUS 2 for Chemistry and Quantum Sciences via [[ssh]]. Only the secure shell ssh is allowed for login.
More recent versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11 using the [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install Windows Subsystem for Linux] (WSL) also come with a built-in OpenSSH client.


From linux machines, you can log in using
From those machines, you can log in using:


ssh <UserID>@justus2.uni-ulm.de
ssh <username>@justus2.uni-ulm.de


During log in you must enter the current TOTP value (6-digit number) created with help of the TOTP app on your smartphone and your service password.

== Login with graphical SSH client (Windows) ==
The bwForCluster Chemistry in Ulm has four dedicated login nodes. The selection of the login node is done automatically. If you are logging in multiple times, different sessions might run
on different login nodes.


Example MobaXterm for login and file transfer:
The names of the four login nodes are justus2-login01.rz.uni-ulm.de, justus2-login02.rz.uni-ulm.de, justus2-login03.rz.uni-ulm.de, justus2-login04.rz.uni-ulm.de.
Start MobaXterm and fill in the following fields:
<pre>
Remote name : justus2.uni-ulm.de
Specify user name : <username>
Port : 22
</pre>


After that click on 'ok'. Then a terminal will open where you can enter your credentials.
These names can be used to access a specific one of the login nodes. In general, you should use justus2.uni-ulm.de to allow us to balance the load over the four login nodes.


== Login Example ==


To login to bwForCluster JUSTUS 2, proceed as follows:

Access to the bwForCluster is only possible from IP addresses within the BelWü network. If your computer is in your University network (e.g. at your office), you should be able to connect directly. From outside the BelWü network (e.g. at home), a VPN (virtual private network) connection to your University network must be established first. Please consult the VPN documentation of your University. You can learn your current hostname/IP at e.g. https://test-ipv6.belwue.net/

Prerequisites for successful login:

You need to have

Login to JUSTUS 2

Login to bwForCluster bwForCluster JUSTUS 2 is only possible with a Secure Shell (SSH) client for which you must know your username on the cluster and the hostname of the login nodes. For more gneral information on SSH clients, visit the SSH clients Guide.

Username

Your username on bwForCluster JUSTUS 2 consists of a prefix and your local username. For prefixes please refer to the Username Guide.

Example: If your local username at your University is ab12 and you are a user from Ulm University, your username on the cluster is: ul_abc12.

Hostnames

JUSTUS 2 has four login nodes. We use DNS round-robin scheduling to load-balance the incoming connections between the nodes. If you are logging in multiple times, different sessions might run on different login nodes and hence programs started in one session might not be visible in another sessions.

Hostname Destination
justus2.uni-ulm.de any one of the login nodes
justus2-login01.rz.uni-ulm.de login node 01
justus2-login02.rz.uni-ulm.de login node 02
justus2-login03.rz.uni-ulm.de login node 03
justus2-login04.rz.uni-ulm.de login node 04

Note: justus2-login02.rz.uni-ulm.de serves as test environment for internal use and is omitted in DNS round-robin.

There are further two visualization nodes for use with VNC:

Hostname Destination
justus2-vis.uni-ulm.de any one of the visualization nodes
justus2-vis01.rz.uni-ulm.de vis node 01
justus2-vis02.rz.uni-ulm.de vis node 02

Login with SSH command (Linux, Mac, Windows)

Most Unix and Unix-like operating systems like Linux or MacOS come with a built-in SSH client provided by the OpenSSH project. More recent versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11 using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) also come with a built-in OpenSSH client.

From those machines, you can log in using: 

ssh <username>@justus2.uni-ulm.de

During log in you must enter the current TOTP value (6-digit number) created with help of the TOTP app on your smartphone and your service password.

To run graphical applications, you can use the -X flag to openssh: 

ssh -X <username>@justus2.uni-ulm.de

For better performance on slow connections you should use e.g. VNC.


Login with graphical SSH client (Windows)

Example MobaXterm for login and file transfer:

Start MobaXterm and fill in the following fields:
