HPC/Network Access/PuTTY Configuration/The Carbon login nodes

1. In the main PuTTY Configuration window, click Session at the top of the tree on the left.
2. Select the Default Settings session and push Load.

   

3. Click Data in the tree.
4. Enter your Argonne username in the Auto-login username field within the Login details section of the panel. (This step matches the one from your Mega session.)

   

5. Click "+" in front of SSH in the tree.
6. Click X11 in the tree.
   • Click the checkbox Enable X11 forwarding.
   • Set X display location to :0

   

7. Scroll to the top of the tree and click Session. Enter the host details:
   • Host name: localhost
   • Port: 33301 (referring to the tunnel set up in the previous step as L33301.)
   • Protocol: SSH (leave at the default).
   • In the Saved Sessions field, enter Clogin
   • Push Save. The entry will appear in the list of saved sessions.

   

8. Update 2013-02-05: To reach specific login nodes, Load the Clogin session, then alter these settings:
   • Port: 33305
   • In the Saved Sessions field, enter Clogin5
   • Push Save.

   and once more:

   • Port: 33306
   • In the Saved Sessions field, enter Clogin6
   • Push Save.

   You can now use either the Clogin session that auto-selects a login node, or one of the other sessions to connect to a specific host. This will be needed to run host-restricted licensed software (MATLAB) or reconnect to a VNC session.
