-text editors, terminals, and custom components in a flexible, integrated, and extensible
-manner. You can arrange multiple documents and activities side by side in the work area
-using tabs and splitters.//
 Follow the project [[virtual_environments:jupyterhub|here]].

 ====New Openlab Instructional Nodes====
-UCI and ICS received the donation of several racks of high density computing during the spring 2019 term.  Some of that equipment has already been deployed as part of the [[https://swiki.ics.uci.edu/doku.php/virtual_environments:inst|virtual machine instructional cluster (centaurus)]].   We are working on deploying the rest to further expand the centaurus cluster as well as replace equipment in the openlab instructional clusters for shell service and as SGE compute nodes.

-====Openlab:Archer, Openlab:Andromeda Planned Retirement====
-**Date**:  Summer Term 2019 (exact date TBD)
+====Duo MFA @ UCI====
-**Reason**:
+DUO multifactor authentication is required for all campus' faculty, staff, and paid students beginning fall quarter in order to prevent unauthorized acces fo institution resources.
-  * To make space and power available for newer openlab instructional nodes
+[[https://www.oit.uci.edu/news/required-multifactor-authentication-account-protection/|Campus Announcement]]
-  * Unsupported hardware, newer kernels and related packages do not run.
-  * A veritable cornucopia of security concerns related to running old packages.
-**Affects**:  All equipment in openlab:archer and openlab:andromeda clusters will be powered down and permanently removed this summer.  New equipment will be added to the openlab cluster for shell service and as SGE compute nodes.
+===Duo MFA on emp.ics.uci.edu===
-====Duo Maintenance Update====
-Changes will be made to duo process running on emp.ics.uci.edu.
-Users may force the old behavior, an autopush to their phone or tablet ap, by setting and exporting the following variable:
-<code>
-DUO_PASSCODE=push
-</code>
 Beginning in early June, in order to accommodate Duo hardware tokens,  users that are enrolled in Duo will be presented with the following menu when logging in:

   * Users that use the Duo app should choose option 1 to continue to have Duo push to their phone.
   * Users that will use a hardware token or phone app //passcode// can simply enter it now.

 **Note about ssh-keys**:  All users logging into emp.ics.uci.edu will receive this prompt regardless of whether or not they are using [[accounts:ssh_keys|ssh-keys]].   At this time we only expect to make this change on emp.ics.uci.edu and multi factor authentication prompts will not appear on other hosts for users using ssh-keys.
+=== SFTP Access ===
+Please note that due to new [[accounts:security:twofactorauthentication:duo|MFA]] requirements, some users may need to change they way they connect to their files using [[services:sftp|sftp or scp]].
