• If you are a member of the University of Konstanz and your local username is ab1234, your username on any bwHPC cluster is kn_ab1234.

• If your local username for the university is vwxyz1234 and you are a user from the University of Freiburg this would combine to the following SSH command:

 ssh -l fr_vwxyz1234 <login>

• Users from the KIT who login to the bwUniCluster do not need to use a prefix, but if they use a bwForCluster. If you are a user from the KIT and your username is pxd27239 your login name for the clusters would be:
  • bwUniCluster: pxd27239
  • bwForCluster: ka_pxd27239
