@EBernhardson I'm prepping access request for Bruno, our search research intern. Question: other than "analytics-privatedata-users", what does he need access to to be able to access search logs or other search related data? ("analytics-privatedata-users" is our go-to request for formal collaborations as that will give access to analytics clusters and webrequest logs.)

This request is approved on my end.

(Please note that I'm not sure if other than analytics-privatedata-users whether Bruno needs access to another group as he will need to work with both webrequest logs and search logs.)

CDanis added subscribers: bscarone, CDanis.

For now I'll grant analytics-privatedata-users and if later it turns out more access is needed, @EBernhardson or @bscarone can re-open the ticket.

@leila I saw on the Research project page you linked that the project lasts through August, so I set an expiry_date of Sept 1st 2022 in my patch. Please let me know if this is wrong :)

Change 803982 had a related patch set uploaded (by CDanis; author: CDanis):

[operations/puppet@production] bscarone: shell/analytics/krb access

Change 803982 merged by CDanis:

[operations/puppet@production] bscarone: shell/analytics/krb access

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/803982

@bscarone you should now be able to use that SSH key to access production per the shell access instructions -- bast1003.wikimedia.org is a good first host to attempt with.

Also you should have an email about your Kerberos principal for accessing Analytics data once logged in via shell.

Please reopen if you need help!

Just to confirm: analytics-privatedata-users should be all that is required for @bscarone

@CDanis once I am on bast1003.wikimedia.org and ssh stat1005.eqiad.wmnet or stat1008.eqiad.wmnet I am prompted to enter a password, so I am not able to run kinit to use the temporary password to log in. Any idea of what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

You don't use the bastion hosts directly to access other hosts -- instead you configure your local ssh to use them as a proxy automatically. Please check out the sample configuration at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/SRE/Production_access#Setting_up_your_access and let me know if you still have trouble once that is installed

Oh, I see, that was the issue. Now I managed to do it, thank you, I will close the task.
