CCA Forum New Account Request

As of January 2008, the CCA Forum has begun migrating user accounts to a new servers hosted at ORNL. Even if you already have an account on the old cca-forum.org server (hosted at LBNL), you must register for a new account in order to access the new servers!

Follow the procedure below to obtain access to the CCA Forum's collaboration resources and services:

1. If you don't already have one, create an XCAMS account (opens new window).


2. Request membership in CCA Forum resource groups (opens new window). Important note: after submitting the request, you will be prompted to login with your XCAMS identity to authenticate the request. If you do not do this, your request is incomplete and cannot be processed!


3. You will be notified by email when your request is ready. (Please be patient. It may be a week or two if we're processing a large number of requests and need to migrate user files from the old server. If your request is urgent, contact us (email below) after completing the request.)

Terminology: XCAMS is the name of the lab-wide external account management service, which is used by many projects at ORNL. It provides an identity which is accepted by the new CCA Forum services and resources, including {cvs,eprints,login,svn,www}.cca-forum.org, tascs-scidac.org, and compframe.org. "XCAMS" does not identify any CCA Forum computing resource or service.

Special notes:

• If you already have an XCAMS account for another project (for example, as a user of the Spallation Neutron Source), you can use the same identity for your CCA Forum access.
• If you already have an internal ORNL UCAMS identity (also known as a "3-character ID" or "UID"), you can use it instead of maintaining a separate XCAMS identity after you activate it for external use. [This applies to only a few CCA Forum users.]
• Accounts for the National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) are maintained separately and cannot be linked to XCAMS.
