This article has instructions for SecureCRT, PuTTY, and Mac/Linux. Configure the client program to use key authentication rather than passwords.ssh/authorized_keys in your Linstat home directory Generate a public/private key pair on your local computerĪdd the key to. No matter how you connect to Linstat, the process of creating a key pair is very much the same: If you will be traveling we suggest configuring it before you leave the United States otherwise you'll need to connect using VPN or Winstat once to set up the key pair. (How you connect has no bearing on how quickly jobs run.)Ĭonfiguring a key pair requires a connection to Linstat. This makes it a good choice for Linstat users outside the United States who are concerned about the performance of their interactive sessions. Using a key pair takes some configuration, but does not send all your network traffic through an intermediary like VPN or Winstat.
Once configured, you'll be asked for the password associated with the key rather than your SSCC password whenever you log into Linstat from that computer. Public key authentication uses two files to prove who you are rather than a password: a public key on the server and a private key on your local computer.
