Obtaining a RCTF Account

Access to the PODs is controlled by RCTF accounts. To access a POD you will first need to request a RCTF account if you don't already have one.

A TACC account is required by the account request form. If you don't already have a TACC account, you should get one before proceeding. See TACC Information for help.

Note that Marcotte and Iyer PODs have not yet fully transitioned to use RCTF account credentials. Please see lab delegates for those labs to obtain credentials.

To request a RCTF account, go to https://rctf-account-request.icmb.utexas.edu/cqb/

Note: Access to this web site is only available from on-campus or using the UT VPN service.

Account request process steps

  1. Ensure you have a fully activated TACC account
  2. Go to https://rctf-account-request.icmb.utexas.edu/cqb/ and use the "New Account Request" form (button) to sign up for an account.
  3. Upon a successful submission of the Account Request form, an RCTF account will be created but you will not yet have access to any POD resources.
  4. Based on the Affilitation(s) you indicated in your account information, your resource request will be directed to a POD account manager who will review your request and grant you access to the appropriate POD Resources.
  5. To see what RCTF POD resources have been made available to you, log in to the RCTF Account Management website https://rctf-account-request.icmb.utexas.edu/cqb/.
  6. Once you have been granted resources on one or more PODs, you can access those resources as described at POD Resources and Access.

Updating RCTF passwords and account information

Password can only be updated using the RCTF Account Management website. This allows RCTF to capture password changes in one place then deploy those changes to multiple servers.

Note: The passwd password-change program has been disabled on all compute servers to enforce this restriction.

To update your RCTF password, go to the change password form (https://rctf-account-request.icmb.utexas.edu/change-password/). Password changes will propagate to your authorized computing servers within a few hours.

To update your contact information and affiliations, go to https://rctf-account-request.icmb.utexas.edu/cqb/, login, and use the Update contact info form. Except for the username and EID fields, all other fields in your account record can be updated.

Resetting a forgotten password

If you have forgotten your RCTF account password, you won't be able to login to the RCTF Account Management website. However, you can still reset your password provided you have an active UT EID.

  1. Go to the RCTF Account Request web application.
  2. Click on the menu bar in the upper right hand of the page (it is the icon with 3 horizontal bars)
    1. You should see a 1/2 page of options
    2. Select RESET PASSWORD BY USER
  3. Alternatively, here is a direct link to the password reset page: https://rctf-account-request.icmb.utexas.edu/cqb/reset-password-by-user/
  4. Enter your UT EID and corresponding password
    1. Your RCTF user name should appear in the Username field
  5. Enter your desired RCTF password (and confirm it), then Submit.

You should now be able to logon to the RCTF Account Request web application with your RCTF user name and new password. The password change will propagate to your authorized compute servers within a few hours.
