Get User Access

In order to get a user account on Elysium you need to download and fill out the user access application form. Note that you can only login to the cluster after you were assigned to at least one project by a project manager.

RUB LoginID: This is your RUB-LoginID. You need to active two-factor authentication for it.

SSH Key (Pub): Your public (not private!) SSH Key. This key must be your own. Sharing keys with others, e.g. members of your work group is not allowed. You can generate an SSH key pair with the following command:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/elysium -N "passphrase"

Then you enter the contents of the file ~/.ssh/elysium.pub in the field. The “passphrase” should of course be changed to an appropriately complex password, that prevents malicious usage of your key.

Note that RSA keys must have at least 3000 bits in accordance with BSI regulations. We recommand ED25519 keys, as shown in the example above.

After you correctly filled out the form save the PDF as User-Access-Application_<loginID>.pdf e.g. User-Access-Application_mamuster.pdf and send it via email to hpc+applications@ruhr-uni-bochum.de
