| | 23 | === GENI Portal Account Instructions === |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | The GENI Experimenter Portal is federated with InCommon. You may be a member of an institution which is a [http://www.incommon.org/federation/info/all-entities.html member of InCommon]. If so, you may just be able to log in |
| | 26 | to the GENI Experimenter Portal using your regular home institution username and password. (Note that GENI never sees your username and password, only some information about who you are.) |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | Please try logging into the GENI Experimenter Portal: |
| | 29 | 1. Go to https://portal.geni.net and click the big orange "Use GENI" button |
| | 30 | 2. On the institution chooser page, select your home institution. The text entry field will autocomplete institutions if you type in a few characters. Or you can choose the "pick from list" option and find your institution on the drop down box. [[BR]] IF your institution does not appear here, '''STOP''' and fill out this form: https://portal.geni.net/idp/request.html |
| | 31 | 3. Click "Continue". You should be redirected to your home institution's login page. |
| | 32 | 4. Type in your usual home institution Username and Password. Again, note that this is not sent to GENI. |
| | 33 | 5. You should be redirected to a GENI agreement page. [[BR]] IF this does not happen, '''STOP''' and fill out this form: https://portal.geni.net/idp/request.html |
| | 34 | 6. Check both boxes and submit the page to indicate that you agree to all policies and agree to let the portal work on your behalf. |

| | 41 | '''Only faculty members and senior technical staff should follow these instructions, if you are a student [#AttendeeChecklist go back to the checklist] and continue with the next item.''' |

| | 43 | After you have successfully logged in to the [http://portal.geni.net portal], you should create a project by using the following steps: |
| | 44 | 1. In the portal home page you will see a button that says "Request to be a project Lead" |
| | 45 | [[BR]] Please mention "GREE-SC 2014" in your information |
| | 46 | 2. Once your request is approved, please login and create a new project (there is a button in the home page). The project name should be not only descriptive of your research but also short, so please try to keep it below 30 characters. |
