Requesting an Account

In order to use the Mantis cluster, you must request a CAM account. It is referred to as a CAM account because much of the administration of the Mantis cluster, in addition to other systems, is handled by the Center for Cell Analysis and Modeling at UConn Health.

To request a CAM account:

  1. Submit an account request ticket.
  2. Select New Account Request from the Request Type dropdown menu.
  3. Choose HPC Cluster Account as the Account Type.
  4. Fill in all relevant and required fields and click submit.

Once your request is approved, you will receive an email with your account information. This will include a username which is different from your NetID and a temporary password.

Passwords

Upon approval of an account request, you will need to enroll in the CAM Password Manager and reset your password.

Passwords expire every 90 days.

Any time you need to reset your password, you can do so in the CAM Password Manager.

Important

If you are ever not able to login or transfer files, ensure that you don’t have an expired password.

Warning

Do not share your password with anyone! We will never ask you for your password for any reason.
