Overnight on June 26-27th (Monday-Tuesday), all Purdue systems which use BoilerKey, including RCAC clusters and other systems, will switch to the new Purdue Login. For more information about this change, please see the following documentation:

https://it.purdue.edu/login/

SSH keys will continue to work uninterrupted, and users of ACCESS systems will see no change to their accounts/access. Only BoilerKey-based login to RCAC systems will be affected by this change. There may be interruptions in login via BoilerKey and Purdue Login around the time of transition just before and after midnight.

We will post a more detailed guide on the exact changes and impacts observed to RCAC systems on Tuesday, June 27th. Thank you for your patience during this big transition for Purdue!
