In our continuous efforts to secure our national infrastructure, we have implemented a new feature in the CCDB whereby public SSH keys can be uploaded to your account and used to connect to our clusters ([[Cedar]], [[Graham]], [[Béluga/en|Béluga]] and [[Niagara |Niagara and Mist]]).  
In our continuous efforts to secure our national infrastructure, we have implemented a new feature in the CCDB whereby public SSH keys can be uploaded to your account and used to connect to our clusters ([[Cedar]], [[Graham]], [[Béluga/en|Béluga]] and [[Niagara |Niagara and Mist]]).  


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'''.
We have received positive feedback from the community.


'''Update as of January 2022''': We have received positive feedback from the community with this pilot. We will be moving forward with authentication via SSH keys only. This change will be effective on MIST and Niagara on January 24, 2022.
SSH keys will be the only way to authenticate on Niagara and Mist starting January 24, 2022.
