Two-factor authentication (Duo) to be rolled out to all CHPC resources beginning September 2

Posted by the CHPC team

Beginning September 2, all users will need to use Duo for two-factor authentication when signing in to CHPC systems. University of Utah policy (Rule 4-004D III.B.3) requires the use of multi-factor authentication when logging in to university resources. Many CHPC resources, including those in the Protected Environment, already require two-factor authentication; this update will affect systems that currently do not.

Systems affected

On Tuesday, September 2, the CHPC will begin rolling out Duo authentication on CHPC systems. This will affect

SSH and FastX access to Linux hosts, including the login nodes of the granite, notchpeak, kingspeak, and lonepeak clusters
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access to Windows hosts, including the beehive server
