Thank you @Jelto! Confirming that I grant approval for Dani to access the items listed in this task as part of her role as a data scientist. Let me know if you need anything else from me.

Hi @Aklapper - thanks for your help with this ticket. I have updated my Phabricator account to show my LDAP user name on my profile.

Thank you for the quick sign off @Khantstop! I reach out out of band to confirm the ssh key

Unfortunately the provided SSH key can not be used, you copied the fingerprint and not the public key. Can you update the task with the actual public key? You should find the public key somewhere in ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub or ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.

The key should look something like ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1l ... wiki@Danielles-MBP-2

My public key is ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIKOnXaorvT6RAntmeg17rQ282mK2TXiF4jQjxxBRJ1uz wiki@Danielles-MBP-2

Thank you for the key. You should have access now. I also created a kerberos principal because Jupyter + Hive/Spark was mentioned.

I'll resolve the task. Please re-open if you have any problems with the access.
