Authentication and Account Setup

OLCF Moderate and Open users, as well as ORNL staff and students, can create a Constellation account to reserve DOIs and publish data. Visit https://doi.ccs.ornl.gov and authenticate using an OLCF username and passcode (PIN + RSA SecurID TOKENCODE) or ORNL UCAMS/XCAMS three-character username and passphrase. The first time a user logs in they will be asked to enter a Globus user identity, and to accept a User Agreement describing Constellation’s terms of use.

To use an existing Globus identity, go to https://www.globus.org/get-started and click ‘Log In.’ Most non-profit organizations including DOE national labs offer log in using institutional credentials. After logging in, your Globus identity can be found under Settings > Account > Identity. Your primary identity may be in the form of an email address or a 36-character UUID. Either value may be used with Constellation.

If institutional log in is not available for Globus, obtain a personal Globus ID. Navigate to https://globusid.org/create and complete the registration form. You will be asked to verify your email address. Once you confirm your email address, you can find your Globus ID by going to Settings > Account > Identity. Your primary identity is the first field displayed next to a crown icon and may be in the form of an email address or [globus_username]@globusid.org.

After logging in to Constellation, you will be taken to your account dashboard.
