Civi & Server access for Moska Noor
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hi! I need Civi & server access for Moska Noor, our new email associate. Server access is especially important so she can start engaging with email test data.

I'm getting Moska set up in phab tomorrow. Is there anything else I should do besides add her here once she's set up?

Event Timeline

@MNoorWMF Hi, do you have a yubikey yet? It's something you will need to get from OIT in order to log on to the server.

@cwdent no, she doesn't have one yet. Somehow I thought that request had to
come through tech... All very confusing who grants what access! I've
reached out to OIT to see how long it will take to get Moska a yubikey.

Hi @cwdent, Moska will be getting her yubikey tomorrow. Can we get this set up?

@CCogdill_WMF - no problem, I have an access request out to Lisa and will
set the accounts up when I hear back.

Okay, thank you!

@MNoorWMF - in order to get you shell access you'll need to generate an ssh key for the fundraising cluster. On Mac OS this can be done by running the following in a terminal:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Put the contents of the public key (the file ending in .pub) somewhere public that you control. A commonly used place is your public user page: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/User:MNoor_(WMF)

If you have trouble please mention fr-tech in the wikimedia-fundraising channel in IRC, we are happy to help, it can be confusing if you haven't done it before.

Hi @cwdent, Moska and I sat down to do this today and I think we're missing a step in the process. After entering the ssh-keygen command, we were prompted with:

Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/mnoor/.ssh/id_rsa):

We're no experts in terminal commands, and I'm not even sure what the file type could be... :) Help?

Spoke too soon, kinda. We went ahead and tried a .txt file, but got this
passphrase error (line 4):

Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/mnoor/.ssh/id_rsa): key.txt
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Passphrases do not match. Try again.

@CCogdill_WMF @MNoorWMF

Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/mnoor/.ssh/id_rsa):

The part in parentheses is the default value, which is fine, so just press enter.

For the passphrase question, it can be whatever you want, they just have to match. Be advised that as you type it be advised that you won't see any output on the screen, which can be confusing at first.

Hope that helps!

Oh, I thought she had to hit the yubikey as her password. That must have
been the issue.

@MNoorWMF, can you give it another shot?

Yes, very helpful, thanks Casey! I followed the instructions and got my public key, key fingerprint, and key's randomart image.

@MNoorWMF glad to hear! Now you should have two files in ~/.ssh called id_rsa (the private key, do not distribute) and id_rsa.pub (the public key, distribute freely)

You should see the files if you type:

ls ~/.ssh

You can get the content of the public key by typing:

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Cut and paste the big block of text that comes out into your public user page. This is just an extra check we do to verify that all the accounts and keys belong to the same person. Once it's there I will get you all set up!

@cwdent: Has this happened in the meantime, or what's left in this task? :)

@Aklapper thanks for the nudge! This is done.
