HPC access

The HPC access settings show whether your membership, policy acceptance and Site account allow you to register an SSH public key.

Register a key

  1. Open your HPC access settings.
  2. Resolve any eligibility, policy or account message shown there.
  3. Add your SSH public key and give it a recognisable name.
  4. Wait for the key to reach Deployed.
  5. Connect using the username and login node shown by the platform.

Keep the private key on your own computer. The platform validates public-key format, strength and duplicates and permits up to ten keys per member and Site.

Deployment includes a propagation period after the Site applies the key. A key that is still pending may not yet work on the login node.

Key states

StateMeaning
Pending deploymentThe Site is applying the key or its propagation period is still running.
DeployedApplication and the configured propagation period have completed.
RejectedThe key could not be applied; read the reason before resubmitting.
Pending revocationRemoval has been requested and is awaiting confirmation or propagation.
RevokedRemoval and the propagation period have completed.

Remove access

Revoke a key when you lose a device or no longer use it. Wait for Revoked before treating removal as complete. Rejected and revoked keys can be deleted from the list.

A policy or account change may require revocation and resubmission. Follow the current settings page and contact Support if access remains pending.
