 ==== System Access Has Three Modes: ====
-  * Lab Access (Pope 211)
+  * Physical Lab Access
   * Web Access (This Wiki Page and the Zeppelin workbook)
-  * Internal SSH access (terminal access)
+  * SSH access (terminal access)
 ==== FIRST STEPS: Accounts and Passwords ====
-Accounts must be assigned before you can access the system. To ensure and validate your account you must login using a text terminal (see **Internal Campus-wide Access** below).
+Accounts must be assigned before you can access the system. Fill out the form below to request an account on the cluster. Within 24 hours of reviving the request, you will be given a password for the system. The password will work or all the workstations in the DSL and will work for remote access using the Zeppelin notebook and SSH (see below).
-Once you have been assigned an account and temporary password, follow these directions to set you new password.
+<form>
-  - Connect to the campus network (or VPN if you have permission) via desktop/notebook.
+Action mail deadline@eadline.org,sjagannathan@saintpeters.edu
-  - Log in to the cluster using a text terminal and secure shell (see **Internal Campus-wide Access** below)
+Thanks "Thanks for your submission. We will be contacting you with your account information."
-  - Use the temporary account and password sent to you via email
-  - You will be asked to choose a new password.
+Fieldset "Request Password"
-  - Once a new password is accepted, the system will automatically log you out and you must log back in with your new password as you did in step 2  above.)
+Textbox  "Name (first/ last)" "=Your Name"
+Textbox "Requested Login Name"  "=Login"
+email "Your E-Mail Address" "=Email Address"
+submit "Submit Query"
+</form>
 ** PASSWORDS ARE VALID FOR 90 DAYS.** You will be required to provide a new password to log into the system.
+** Account names can be the same as campus-wide accounts, however, authentication (passwords) for the DSL cluster (//dsl.saintpeters.edu//) are unique and will only work for ssh and the Zeppelin notebook .**
 ==== Lab Access ====
-Once you have a valid account and password (not the temporary password) you can login into any workstation in the Data Science Lab in Pope 211. The files under your account will be available on all the workstations in the lab. For instance, you can work on Limulus3 one day and return to the lab later and use Limulus6 (or login over the campus network) and the same files (in the same state) will be available for you.

-==== Internal Campus-wide Access ====
+==== SSH Access ====
-Student access to the cluster is available when connected to the campus-wide network.
+SSH is an encrypted command line tool for terminal access to a remote computer systems. You will need an SSH Client to access the cluster via SSH. If you are using Windows, you will need to install either (both are free) [[https://www.putty.org/ PuTTY]] or [[https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ MobaXterm]]. Mac and Linux come with an SSH client already installed as part of their Terminal applications.
-This access is based on command-line Linux tools. To access the cluster in a secure fashion
-you will need a Secure Shell (SSH) client on your laptop or desktop computer.

-If you are on the internal campus Saint Peters network, you can access the cluster using SSH by entering
-the following in a terminal window:
 <code>
-ssh USERNAME@dsl.saintpeters.edu
+  ssh USERNAME@dsl.saintpeters.edu -p8528
 </code>
 USERNAME is your account user name on the cluster. This connection will place you on
-the main server. Once you are logged into the main server (now called "dsl") use SSH to move to a specific server. For example, once logged-in to the main system (named dsl) you can move to any other system in the cluster. These include limulus2, limulus3, limulus4, limulus5, limulus6, limulus7-TF, limulus8-TF and limulus9-TF. For example:

-==== External SSH Access (Terminal Access) ====
-External SSH access is no longer available unless you are connected to the Saint Peters VPN (Virtual Private Network). If you are connected to the Saint Peters VPN use the Campus-wide instructions above.
