Instructions for connecting to ARCHER2
Please try to complete the following setup tasks ahead of the lesson.
Get a SAFE account
First you need to register for a SAFE account - SAFE is our online administration system. Please ensure you use the same email address that you used to register for the course.
If you have an existing SAFE account for ARCHER or Tier2 systems, then use your existing SAFE login credentials to log in, rather than creating a new account.
Set up a password-protected SSH key
Instructions for setting up a password-protected SSH key for ARCHER2 can be found in the ARCHER2 documentations:
https://docs.archer2.ac.uk/quick-start/quickstart-users/#generating-and-adding-an-ssh-key-pair
Request your ARCHER2 login account.
You will need to request an account for project ta025. Instructions for
requesting your ARCHER2 login account can be found here:
https://docs.archer2.ac.uk/quick-start/quickstart-users/#request-an-archer2-login-account
You will receive an email once your account request has been approved and the account has been set up - there may be a delay.
You can then retrieve the initial password:
https://docs.archer2.ac.uk/quick-start/quickstart-users/#collecting-your-archer2-password
and get logged on
https://docs.archer2.ac.uk/quick-start/quickstart-users/#login-to-archer2
Note that when you first log on you will be immediately prompted to change your “ldap password” – this is asking you to enter your temporary ARCHER2 password again.
Problems
If you have any issues, please contact the ARCHER2 service desk, support@archer2.ac.uk, and mention that you are an attendee on the QM/MM with GROMACS + CP2K course and are using the Training Project ta025.
