We are | We are evaluating the possibility of enforcing authentication with SSH keys to access all of our clusters; therefore we will be conducting a pilot project beginning on November 1, 2021, which will involve '''Niagara and Mist'''. | ||
== Important dates == | |||
'''Starting on November 1, 2021''': Authentication on '''Niagara''' and '''Mist''' with SSH keys will only accept keys that have been uploaded to the CCDB. Keys that are only in .ssh/authorized_keys will no longer work. | |||
'''November | '''Every Monday of November 2021''': From 10:00AM to noon Eastern time, authentication on '''Niagara and Mist''' will only be possible with SSH keys. Authentication using passwords will be disabled. | ||
