ACCOUNT POLICIES CHANGED JULY 2021

CCR began requiring two-factor authentication on all accounts Tuesday, July 27, 2021.  If you have not yet enabled 2FA, you will only be able to login to the CCR identity management portal.  All other portals will provide the error "You don't have access to this resource"

Users that use SSH (including SCP/SFTP) to connect to CCR servers must use SSH keys; passwords over SSH are no longer accepted.  

Details about these policy changes and instructions for updating your account can be found here.
