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.

SSH Key

You must upload the public part of your SSH key pair to the SAFE by following the instructions from the SAFE documentation

Time-based one-time password (TOTP)

You must set up your TOTP token by following the instructions from the SAFE 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.
