  1. e-mail public key to BNL help desk at itdhelp@bnl.gov.
  2. They will e-mail you back confirming that you have a gateway account.
  3. Next, test your account by doing the following:

Open putty and save a session 'bnl_cluster' having hostname: ssh1.bnl.gov and port 22.

Also enter private key for authorization.

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
