Access to the PODs is controlled by BRCF (RCTF) accounts. To access a POD you will first need to request a BRCF account if you don't already have one.
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. |
Having a TACC account is no longer needed for most POD users. However, it is still needed for POD owners so that we can archive their data to TACC's ranch tape archive system.
See TACC Information for more information on getting TACC and ranch accounts.
Password can only be updated using the BRCF Account Management website. This allows BRCF 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 BRCF 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.
If you have forgotten your BRCF account password, you won't be able to login to the BRCF Account Management website. However, you can still reset your password provided you have an active UT EID.
You should now be able to logon to the BRCF Account Request web application with your BRCF user name and new password. The password change will propagate to your authorized compute servers within a few hours.
The Educational POD uses UT EID accounts instead of BRCF accounts. For more information on the Educational POD see The Educational POD.
