CANFAR Science Platform FAQ¶

My session is stuck in the Pending state - This can imply that the platform is unable to launch your image. There are a number of potential causes:
Often skaha fails to authorize you to https://images.canfar.net due to an expired CLI Secret. Try resetting this value by logging into https://images.canfar.net (using the OIDC Login button), going to your User Profile, and updating your CLI Secret. Once done you should delete the Pending session and try launching it again.
- If the image is proprietary and the CLI Secret update did not work, check with your project administrator to ensure you have been granted access to the project in https://images.canfar.net
- The session could be in a Pending state waiting for resources so that it can be scheduled.
- More information about the reason for the Pending state can be found using the logging mechanisms explained in Programmatic Access.
