Update a JASMIN account
Update a JASMIN account
This article shows you how to update an active JASMIN account on the JASMIN accounts portal.
Step 1 : On your profile page , select “Update info”.
Step 2 : Once the discipline and degree are updated, click “Update profile”
Step 3 : The updated details are displayed.
To update your SSH public key, first you need to generate a new SSH key pair as described here: Generate an SSH key pair. This should be done on your local machine (e.g. Windows / Linux / Mac). You MUST protect your key with a strong passphrase. Then follow step 1 to step 5 to update your SSH public key. You will be asked for a verification token during this process. The system will reject any key that it recognises has been used before (across all users) so you must generate a fresh key each time: you cannot recycle an old key.
Step 1 : On the profile page, select “Update key”
Step 3 On the profile page shown above select “Update key”. Within a few seconds, you should receive a validation token to your registered email address.
Step 4: Enter the validation token, delete the old SSH public key , and paste the new SSH public key. Click “Update SSH key”.
Step 5: Confirmation is displayed. Please allow 15 minutes before attempting to log in again, while the new key becomes active on the JASMIN system.
If you get the message “not a valid ssh public key” please check that you have
copied the text from the .pub
file and that no newline characters are
included: the public key should be a single line of text.
It can be difficult to see this as the text automatically wraps
itself to fit in the text box.
Step 1 : Go to your username in the top-right corner of the navigation bar. Select “Change password” from the drop-down menu.
Step 2 : Enter the new password which must conform to the rules stated. You should ideally generate a strongly random string in an encrypted password manager and store it securely. Make sure it is NOT the same as your SSH key passphrase. Re-enter the new password to confirm, then click “Change password”
Linking your CEDA account to your JASMIN account allows you filesystem access to data on CEDA Archive. If you need to access data on the CEDA Archive and you do not have an account, you will need to apply for a CEDA account.
Step 1 : On the profile page, select “Link now” which is opposite to the field “Linked CEDA Account”. This will take you to the CEDA accounts portal page where you need to login.
Step 2 : You will be directed to the page below to authorise JASMIN accounts portal to link your CEDA account and read CEDA profile information.
Step 3 : Your “Linked CEDA Account” field on your JASMIN account profile
page will be updated with “Linked with <JASMIN username>
” as shown below
