JLAB registration and obtaining a JLAB account

Basic Registration

HPS users who require access to the JLAB computing infrastructure should register for a new account.

The registration form is here:

http://wwwold.jlab.org/hr/jris/processing.html

The type should be "user-active" and the sponsor is Stepan Stepanyan.

Computer Account Request

Complete the JLAB Computer User account form here:

https://cc.jlab.org/useraccounts

It then needs to be scanned and sent to stepanya@jlab.org for his signature.

Once you see your name appear at https://misportal.jlab.org/mis/staff/staff.cfm, then call the JLAB help desk at 757) 269-7155 to get your temporary password.  It is a good idea to try out the password while on the phone with them.

Then you may login to login.jlab.org and then to the scientific computing farm at ifarml64.

Batch Computing Access

To be able to use the batch system you'll need to obtain a certificate here:

http://scicomp.jlab.org/scicomp .

Query your username and then the link for creating the certificate will appear. If you are not on the jlab network then logon to jlabl1.jlab.org (or other appropriate central system) and start Firefox and use that browser session to get the certificate. When completed, you should have a new file .jlab.scicomp in your jlab home directory.

Required General Security Training

Complete the JLAB GEN034U security training within 48 hours. It covers much more than security training.  It involves watching a ~20 minute online video.

Please select GEN034U from here:

http://www.jlab.org/div_dept/train/webbasedtraining.html

If you do not complete this mandatory training, your JLAB account will be suspended.
