How to get an account and a CPU quota on Stallo
To be able to work on Stallo you must have an account and you must have been granted CPU time on the system. There are two ways to achieve this:
Research Council Quota
National users (including users from UiT) may apply for an account and a CPU quota from the Research Councils share of Stallo. If you wan to apply for such a quota please use this form.
Before you start using Stallo, please read the University of Tromsø`s guidelines.
UiT Quota
“Local users” (i.e. users from UiT and the Norwegian Polar Institute, and users affiliated with UiT in some way) can apply for an account and a quota from UiT’s share of Stallo. If you wan to apply for such a quota please use this form.
Please note that most users who are allowed to apply for a UiT quota also are allowed to apply for a quota from the Research Council – at the same time!
Before you start using Stallo, please read the University of Tromsø`s guidelines.
Information about how to log in on Stallo with ssh, and how to learn more abut ssh.
An SSH client (Secure SHell) is the required tool to connect to Stallo. To learn more about this, check out the Metasenter page on SSH.
Obtain a new password
When you have been granted an account on stallo.uit.no, your username and password will be sent to you.
The passwd command does not seem to work. My password is reset back to the old one after a while. Why is this happening?
The Stallo system is using a centralised database for user management. This will override the password changes done locally on Stallo.
The password can be changed here, log in using your username on stallo and the NOTUR domain.
Access with certificates
(For example, for use with grid middelware. Pointer to section on ARC.
Do we at UiT have other certificates?)
