[Halld] Reminder and updated documentation: ssh access to ifarm after March 21st

[Alexander Austregesilo]

Dear Colleagues,


Please remember that access to the interactive farm (ifarm) will switch 
to 2-factor login through scilogin.jlab.org next Tuesday, March 21st.


The procedure is completely equivalent to accessing the counting house 
through hallgw. If you are able to do this already, no additional action 
is required. Please try it out sooner than later.


If you have not been issued a token for the MobilePass smartphone app or 
enrolled with either the Google or the Microsoft authenticator, please 
contact the helpdesk (helpdesk at jlab.org) for assistance. The 
instructions can be found here:

I forward some helpful tips from your friends in Scientific Computing below.


Best regards,

Alex

On March 21st all ssh access to ifarm and qcdi machines will require an 
ssh hop though a 2-factor login machine such as scilogin.jlab.org. To 
help with common ssh configuration topics, see the following updated 
articles:

  * For details about ssh and transferring files: Connecting to Farm and
    QCD Interactive Nodes
    <https://jlab.servicenowservices.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0015066>

  * Advanced topics, including ssh configuration to reduce the number of
    times a password needs to be entered: (Open)SSH configuration for
    Farm and QCD clusters
    <https://jlab.servicenowservices.com/scicomp?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0014918>

  * For large file transfers with higher performance, Globus
    <https://jlab.servicenowservices.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0014843>
    is available.


The scilogin.jlab.org ssh host is available for testing. On March 21^st 
   2factor login node use will be required.

If you are unable to ssh to scilogin.jlab.org using two-factor 
credentials, please contact the helpdesk <mailto:helpdesk at jlab.org>for 
assistance.
