Access to SCARF via Open OnDemand

Access to SCARF via Open OnDemand is currently limited to IRIS users, either with an existing SCARF account or no account yet.

Existing SCARF account

If you already have a SCARF account, then we need to attach your institutional email address to it. By default, SCARF accounts do not have email addresses associated with them.

Please contact us from your institutional email address, and let us know your SCARF username.

Once we have associated your email to your account, you will then be able to continue with the instructions below.

IRIS Users

You need to have an account on the IRIS IAM. IRIS IAM provides documentation on how to register for an account here: https://iris-iam.stfc.ac.uk/help/ if you do not already have one. You may use the reason “SCARF Access” in the notes box on the registration page.

Once you have registered, you will need to request access to the “scarf-trial” group. We will then be able to approve your request.

Once you have an IRIS IAM account, and are in the “scarf-trial” group, you are now able to access Open OnDemand.

Please navigate to https://portal.scarf.rl.ac.uk where you will be re-directed to our logon page.

Click the “IRIS IAM” button here, and then go through the normal process of logging into your IRIS IAM account.

A SCARF account with the username irisNNNN will be created for you automatically if you do not already have one.

It may take a few minutes for your account to be created on our systems the first time you log in - and you may get re-directed to a page asking you to wait for up to five minutes.

If this happens, please wait a few minutes and then go back to https://portal.scarf.rl.ac.uk to repeat the login process. This will only happen once.

Otherwise, you will then be re-directed back to the Open OnDemand home page, where you can get started submitting jobs!
