| Members of special-purpose projects (SSB, HRS) should skip this section and proceed straight to Section 1.5. These users cannot log in directly using SSH. |
Regardless of the connection method you will use, NX (Section 1.5) SSH+VNC (Section 1.6), or SFTP (Section 1.7), you will need to have acess to a SSH client. For the SSH+VNC connection method, it is an integral part of the connection procedure. For the NX and SFTP connection method, you will need the stand-alone SSH client only for one thing: for the first-ever login, or after you have had your password reset. In the examples below, we will use vrdc6401 for illustration, but will denote the generic VirtualRDC node name by vrdcXXXX. The procedures will work in a similar manner for all other VirtualRDC nodes, only the host name will change (replace vrdcXXXX with your assigned login node, e.g., vrdc3201).
