What is the password of my HPC account?

A) If you got your HPC account through the new HPC portal (https://portal.hpc.fau.de) because it is for example an NHR project, there is NO password for such an HPC account. You log into the HPC portal using your SSO credentials (of your university). Access to the HPC systems with your HPC account created through the portal is by SSH keys only. The SSH public key is uploaded to the HPC portal and it will take a couple of hours until all HPC systems know a new/changed SSH public key. Multiple SSH public keys can be uploaded.

B) If you have an FAU IdM account and applied for your HPC account with the HPC paper form, you can set a dedicated password for the HPC account through the IdM portal (https://idm.fau.de). It will take a couple of hours until all HPC systems know the changed password.
