Connect to the SSCC
- Download the Windows SSH 3 Client Binary from http://charlotte.at.northwestern.edu/bef/sshdist.html - Run the SSH installer (SSHSecureShellClient-3.2.9.exe) Two SSH Shortcuts will be placed on your desktop. One shortcut opens a new terminal window (it looks like a computer monitor), the other opens a new file transfer window (it looks like a folder) when you double click it.
- Double-click on SSH Secure Shell icon to start a new terminal window.
- - Click on [Profiles] and then on [Add Profile]
- Enter Profile Name. For example "hardin" and click [Add to Profiles] Note that "hardin" replaced "hardin2" in October 2006. If you find SSCC documentation still using "hardin2" please substitute "hardin" instead. - Click on [Profiles] and then on [Edit Profiles]
- - Enter "hardin.it.northwestern.edu" in the field named "Host name" - Enter your NU NetID in the field named "User name" - Click on "Authentication"
- mark "Public Key" as shown in the figure above and delete it by clicking on the red cross above the list. If you have successfully done that, only "Keyboard Interactive" and "Password" are remaining in the list, like shown in the figure below.
- Click [OK] to close the Profile Editing Window (Note: There is no need to change other fields. If you experience difficulties with the connection, refer to the section SSH Profile Settings below.)
- Make sure you are connected to the internet - Click on [Profiles] and then on the profile you just created (here: [hardin]) - You will be asked for your password. Type in your NU NetID password. - The status of the connection is shown at the bottom of the SSH terminal window. If it says "connected to hardin.it.northwestern.edu" then you are connected! - To logout, type "logout" and hit <Enter> or you can disconnect over the SSH by clicking [File] and clicking [Disconnect].

If you are connecting to the SSCC from off campus, you must first establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection to the campus network before you open a connection with SSH. Establishing a VPN connection authenticates you to the NU network, and adds a level of trust and security to your connection. The Cisco VPN Client software is available at no charge under University license. See Set Up Cisco VPN for Windows for detailed instructions explaining how to download, install, configure and use the Cisco VPN Client software. Macintosh OS X users will want to see Set Up Cisco VPN for Macintosh Be sure to use the Cisco software for off-campus connections. |
