Logging in

Setting up easy login situaiton is a two step process:

• install pledge
• create aliases for the ssh commands

Installing Pledge Somewhere

Pledge is for generating time-sensitive one-time-use, two-factor-authentication passwords. That's awesome. Many of you may have seen or used the passkey generating RSA keys that are used to log into the national laboratory networks. How many use google two-factor authentication for their email or something similar? I do. [google2factor].

This is annoying because it takes a long time to get to the final url with which to install Pledge. But, you will eventually succeed. Use the username and password given to you by Krishna at LBL.

1. Install Pledge. The easiest is likely to do this on your phone using whatever app installation store is appropriate.
2. Go here (https://identity.lbl.gov/PledgeEnrollment/enroll.jsp), select HPCS from the pulldown window, and enter your user name/password that Krishna from LBNL sent to you. This should provide an 8 digit profile ID.
3. Open Pledge and click the + button. It should ask for your profile ID (the thing you just generated); enter it, and it should download your "Pledge profile." If you get an error, contact Phil Goorman for trouble shooting advice.
4. Make a pin number. The pin is specific for that profile.
5. When you log into the savio cluster you will use this app to generate a new password everytime.
