There are a few steps to gain access to the T2:
- First thing to know: our contact mail is grid_admin AT listserv.vub.ac.be . Please always send mails to this list and not to personnal emails, this way everyone here can respond and keep up-to-date with problems.
Getting access
- Now, to get access to our T2, we need 3 things :
- To know you: send us a mail with your promotor in cc presenting yourself (name, university, Physics group/experiment). Please do so preferrably from your preferred contact email, as it is the one we will keep to contact you.
- Add to this email the login you want to use. If you have a CERN account, it would be simpler for it to be the same (although not mandatory).
- Finally, copy-past the content of your PUBLIC ssh key, in order to have access to our User Interfaces (UIs, or often called the mX machines). To create a pair of ssh keys if you don't have one already, do the following:
in a shell type: > ssh-keygen and follow the instructions. The defaults suggested are fine. Just choose a password. this will create 2 files in the following directory: $HOME/.ssh The files are: id_rsa id_rsa.pub You need to send us the content of id_rsa.pub, which is your public key. The other is your private key and should never be shared. Note that if you already have one somewhere else, copying both id_rsa[.pub] files on your computer is fine too.
- * [OPTIONAL] If you already have a certificate, please send us your DN. It is the content of "Identity" when issuing the command voms-proxy-info.
Next Steps
- Now that you have access to our T2, read the following:
- ... everything else on the twiki front page
- If you need a grid certificate, follow this twiki page
- You need to register to the t2b user mailing-list
- Go to the request page
- search for the list beginning with belgian-t2-users
- then hit the button subscribe
- If any of this fails, ask someone to contact the mailinglist admins (or ask them to send a mail to this list with your request)
