Login

The route for SSH access to the CS3 user-nodes is via the eidf-gateway bastion, as for the EIDF VirDS desktop VMs. This requires two credentials, your SSH key pair protected by a passphrase and a Time-based one-time password (TOTP).

Access credentials

To access the CS3 system, follow the login example below. For the majority of authorised users, no further passwords or credentials are required other than for eidf-gateway.

To configure your SSH keys and MFA (TOTP) token, see our general SSH documentation.

SSH Login example

To login to the CS3 user-nodes, you will need to use the SSH Key and TOTP token as noted above. With the appropriate key loaded
ssh -J <username>@eidf-gateway.epcc.ed.ac.uk cerebras will then prompt you, roughly once per day, for your TOTP code.
