Setting Up a JLab Account

Basic Registration

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

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

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

Computer Account Request

After registering, 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.

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.

Accessing Sci Comp Resources

Computing Groups

Anyone who needs to use any of the scientific computing resources (such as batch and interactive farms, the tape silo, work disks, etc.) must be member of one of the allowed groups including clas or clashps.

Membership in one of these groups can be requested by contacting Francois-Xavier Girod <fxgirod@jlab.org> with your account name.

Batch Computing Access

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

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

From within the JLab network, you may query your username, and the link for creating the certificate will appear.

If you are not on the JLab network, then login to jlabl1.jlab.org and start Firefox.  Then use that browser session to get the certificate.

When completed, you should have a new file ~/.jlab.scicomp in your JLAB home directory.
