After logging in to gateway, it will ask you for the passphrase for key (if you assigned one during key generation). Log on to cluster (ssh cluster) using the password that they emailed you for the BNL domain account and change password. The password should comply with their security requirements.

In order to use SSH client do the following:

  1. setup a tunnel under ssh-gateway session
