The webhanin server that CADE has offered at https://webhandin.eng.utah.edu will be going end of life after the Spring 2024 semester due to no use over the past year.

In April of this year, we made the hard decision to restrict remote access to the lab machines to on-campus or VPN only.

Since then, we’ve been looking at options for integrating two-factor authentication in order to make the Linux machines directly accessible off campus once again. The 2fa solution that we’ve settled on is password + TOTP authentication.

When connecting to the CADE Linux machines from on campus or the VPN, you may connect as usual with a password or an SSH key. When connecting from off campus, you’ll need both your CADE password and a one time code.

To register a TOTP app, log into the CADE Linux machines from on-campus or the VPN.

1. Go to Applications > CADE > Configure 2FA or from a terminal run configure-2fa.sh. This will display a QR Code on the screen.

2. Using Duo (or any other TOTP app), scan the QR Code. This will create a new entry for the CADE Linux machines.

3. When SSHing from off campus, you will be prompted to enter your password, followed by a prompt to enter your TOTP code.

UPDATE: SSH and NoMachine are open again without the VPN. 2FA is now required.

Due to increasing cybersecurity threats, as of April 25, 2023, CADE has restricted SSH, NoMachine and VMware Horizon access from off-campus to require using the campus VPN in order to connect.

For now this includes:

* SSH and NoMachine/NX to the CADE Lab Linux computers (labs 1 & 2)
* VMware Horizon access to the Window VDI Pools (Engman & ME EN 7530 pools)

Over the next few weeks, we will be tightening down additional networks from off campus access.

CADE will be retiring the old MySQL server named mysql.eng.utah.edu on March 1st, 2022. As of January 2022, there appear to be no active users of this server, as all new databases since 2017 have been created on the new server (maria.eng.utah.edu).

If you need an old database moved to the new server, please send a request to opers@eng.utah.edu and we’d be happy to move it over.

We’ll be keeping this server around after shutdown for at least two years if any old data needs to be recovered.

Starting April 25, 2023, remote access to the MGK Mac Lab (lab8) will be disallowed.
To access these machines, come to campus.

We previously allowed ssh access only; GUI/Finder access has never been allowed.

Starting Sunday, July 25th, the CADE lab will be unavailable through the 29th due to hardware and software upgrades.

At least half the machines will be online at any time. These machines will be accessible remotely here: https://nx.eng.utah.edu

CADE’s long running SVN server (lenny.eng.utah.edu) will be retired on September 1st 2021 due to little usage. Please contact us if you have any questions.
