You can connect for the first time via SSH from another ECMWF platform. 

No Format
$> ssh aa

For those users from our Member and Cooperating States with no formal access to the HPCF, or for serial jobs that will not use HPCF Member State allocation, they can log in to

No Format
$> ssh ecs


Info

Upon logging in, please take a look at the message of the day displayed on the login nodes (or review /etc/motd). 


If connecting from ECGATE or CCA/CCB no password will be asked. From other platforms you will have to use your ECMWF password to connect.
Tip
titlePassword access

If you have not changed your password since 18 January 2021, password access may not work.

...

  1. Check if you have an existing rsa key pair on other ECMWF platforms:

    No Format
    $> ls ~/.ssh/id_rsa*
    ~/.ssh/id_rsa    ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 

    If you don't, you may generate them like so:

    No Format
    $> ssh-keygen -t rsa                          # press 'enter' 3 more times


  2. Make sure it is added into the different platforms to be used

    Note

    If the key was already present in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file, it will be duplicated.


    No Format
    $> ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ecgate
    $> ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub cca
    $> ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub aa
    # or if you don't have access to HPCF:
    $> ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub aa


  3. Copy also your private key onto those platforms so you can make the connections in both directions:

    No Format
    $> rsync -av ~/.ssh/id_rsa cca:.ssh/
    $> rsync -av ~/.ssh/id_rsa aa:.ssh/
    # or if you don't have access to HPCF:
    $> rsync -av ~/.ssh/id_rsa ecs:.ssh/
