We don't know where SSH access is going and need to engage users and XSEDE stakeholders to find identify a path forward.
DriversNeeds that are driving this discussion:
- Products that have vendor/community support
- Interfaces that simplify interactive access and that users prefer to use
- Modern, standard, and ubiquitous user authentication and authorization mechanisms
- Keep XSEDE innovative and leading in usability and ease of access thru the end of the program
- Ensure XSEDE investments in improving SSH access match matches user and SP needs and broader trends
Presentation and user survey
- Topic: The Future of SSH login community
- Identify what the future of SSH login is
Next steps / actions
We will survey users and SPs and hold a PEARC19 BOF so that by early Fall 2019 we have the input needed to prepare an XSEDE SSH futures plan.
- Lee Liming and Jim Basney Prepare public facing background and context setting slides by
- In Present the background present the broader topic context of wider adoption of web based access methods
- JP Navarro , Shava Smallen , and Kate Kaya Prepare survey(s) for SSH users and service providers by
- Preferably using the RSP
- Reference context slides in survey introduction
- Current SPs, new system SPs (TACC, cloud, and others), campus operators
- Include questions about direct inter-resource ssh and scp
- Shava Smallen Will try to get 2 PEARC19 BOFs, one for this topic and the other for user needs discussion with SPs
- Reuse context slides in the BOF introduction
- Open to everyone
