Automated workflows which connect to the clusters without human intervention cannot make use of a second authentication factor. In order to execute such workflows after MFA becomes a requirement, you must request access to one of our special nodes. These nodes will not require the use of a second factor, but will be otherwise much more limited than regular login nodes in terms of the type of authentication they accept and the type of action that they can be used to perform.

Users who need to make use of automated workflows for their research must first contact our [[technical support]] to be allowed to use these nodes. When contacting us, please explain in detail the type of automation you intend to use as part of your workflow. Tell us what commands will be executed and what tools or libraries you will be using to manage the automation.
