Category:BwUniCluster 2.0: Difference between revisions

Due to regular maintenance work the HPC system bwUniCluster 2.0 will not be available from

11.10.2021 at 08:00 AM until 15.10.2021 at 12:00 noon

Please see the maintenance page for more information about planned upgrades and other changes.

On 13.08.2020 at 10 AM the following changes to the security policies will take effect:

• For authentication, the use of a second factor (2-factor authentication) in addition to the service password will be mandatory. You can find the user documentation for this function here.

• The use of SSH keys will be possible again. However, these can no longer be managed via the authorized_keys files, but only centrally via bwIDM. You can find the user documentation for this function here.

The following restrictions still apply:

• Access is limited to IP addresses from within the campus networks of the respective home institutions of our current users. If you are outside of one of these networks (e.g. in your home office), a VPN connection to your home institution has to be established first (see e.g. [1] for the KIT).
