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.
