Dear NERSC Users, As the culmination of many years of effort, NERSC is beginning to roll out its new Federated Identity <https://docs.nersc.gov/connect/federatedid/> infrastructure. We anticipate that soon, more than two-thirds of our users will be able to use their institutional login credentials to log into selected NERSC services. The rollout process begins with an initial phase for all users with Berkeley Lab (lbl.gov) credentials. Starting on November 29, 2021, Berkeley Lab staff will be able to follow a one-time process to link their Lab identity to their NERSC identity, then subsequently use their Lab credentials to log into resources such as Iris, ServiceNow, and the NERSC web site. As a result of the rollout, the appearance of the NERSC login page will change when accessing these services. Instead of the form requesting your login name and password, followed by your MFA one-time password, you will see a menu where you can choose the institution to use for login. During this first phase, if you are not Berkeley Lab staff, simply select “NERSC” as the authentication source, and you will be sent to the familiar NERSC authentication form. If you are Lab staff, feel free to select the Berkeley Lab option and try it out! In the new year, we will enter the second phase of the rollout and enable all DOE national labs. Other eligible US-based institutions will be added in the final phase. We also plan to enable more services, such as JupyterHub and the SSH Proxy, to use Federated Identity in the coming months.
