...

You will need to upload your 4K public ssh key to the portal. You can upload multiple keys per team/user.

Code Block
languagebash

Setup your ssh config file to make it easier:

Code Block
languagebash
$ cat .ssh/config

Host fau
    HostName cshpchpc-mover.rrze.fauuni-erlangen.de
    Port 22322
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_4k
    User <user id>

...

Code Block
$ ssh fau
.....

4. Setup public-key in your environment on FAU login node.

Code Block
$ cd .ssh
$ ssh-keygen
...
$ cp id_rsa.pub authorized_keys

5. Login to Fritz or alex clusters Login to the cluster

Code Block
$ssh fritzfau
