SSH Access

Kerberos Access

Kerberos access to a Kuali or related DevOps node can be granted by an appropriate admin. Place a request to the admin so they can add your credentials to the .k5login file on the appropriate system

to grant access.

SSH Shared Keys

Shared public/private keypair access can be granted by an appropriate admin. Place a request to the admin and perform the following so they can add your credentials to the appropriate system.

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 1024

Make sure to press enter or return to leave the password BLANK when creating your key. Keys with passwords will not function properly.

Once you have the key created, run the following and send its output to the admin in an email.

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Output should look similar to the following

Example

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAAgQDt/vXXWxwfX2Y5ezZn/O6ijxNYPqCrhJC3mBHO7LNF4vMaBnXdA4s8QfyZsV+9GqejHgp02OCbM478FzAUjx2wTMb4B01ONbPzLJ4M1wOSbnRLF2nhPMR1JCkhV5QKar9jjQGbWNgRaYFfq19VtkHZ2gfm1lqstmH+slIhZlMjlw==<your localhost name>
