===== GENERAL INFORMATION (as of 10:13 Tue Nov 20, 2018)
============================================================================
Decommission of dsclogin and ngalogin ADAPT Bastion Login Services: At noon,
Monday, November 19, 2018, the NCCS permanently removed the dsclogin and
ngalogin bastion login services. (All ADAPT users will retain their
adaptlogin.nccs.nasa.gov bastion login service, which will provide the
functionality of the older bastion servers being removed.) If you did not
set an NCCS LDAP password and tested access through the adaptlogin bastion
login service, contact the NCCS User Services Group by telephone at
301-286-9120. For security reasons, sensitive information--like passwords--
can not be transmitted by e-mail.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discover IP Range: If users have established authorizations with remote data
providers or data consumers that are based on IP addresses, the Discover
interactive and gateway nodes all fall within the IP range from
169.154.145.11 to 169.154.145.70.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADAPT Users with Access to Windows VMs: NASA security policy requires a
scheduled downtime every second Wednesday of the month from 9 to 10 a.m. to
reboot the ADAPT Windows VMs after the implementation of the "Microsoft
Patch Tuesday" updates released every second Tuesday of the month.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discover Users: When creating a ticket to report a Discover job crashing, if
possible please include the job ID. This will greatly enhance our ability
to diagnose the problem. Thank you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The MATLAB licenses on discover are in high demand. If you are not actively
using MATLAB on the ineractiive nodes, please exit your session so that
other users may use the local licenses.
