* [[Media:unknown.pdf‎|Application form]] for members of the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg
 
* [[Media:unknown.pdf‎|Application form]] for members of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen
 
* [http://www.scc.kit.edu/downloads/sdo/Antrag_Benutzernummer_bwUniCluster.pdf Application form] for members of KIT

== Step B: Web Registration ==

*# Click '''Register'''
 
*# Finally
 
*#* for all non-KIT members '''mandatorily''' set a service password for authentication on bwUniCluster

-->
 
<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:
 
 
* Freiburg: <UserID> = fr_username
 
* Heidelberg: <UserID> = hd_username
 
* Hohenheim: <UserID> = ho_username
 
* KIT: <UserID> = username ''(without any prefix)''
 
* Konstanz: <UserID> = kn_username
 
* Mannheim: <UserID> = ma_username
 
* Stuttgart: <UserID> = st_username
 
* Tübingen: <UserID> = tu_username
 
* Ulm: <UserID> = ul_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.

== Allowed activities on login nodes ==
 
 
The login nodes of bwUniCluster are the access point to the compute system and to your bwUniCluster $HOME directory. The login nodes are shared with all users of bwUniCluster. Therefore, your activities on the login nodes are limited to primarily set up your batch jobs. Your activities may also be:
 
* '''short''' compilation of your program code and
 
* '''short''' pre- and postprocessing of your batch jobs.
 
 
 
To guarantee usability for all the users you <span style="color:red;font-size:100%;">'''must not run your compute jobs on the login nodes'''</span>. Compute jobs must be executed to the
 
[[bwUniCluster Batch Jobs|queueing system]]. Any compute job running on the login nodes will be terminated without any notice.
