GSI-SSHTerm is an application written in Java that enables to you connect to
a server running GSISSH using a grid certificate. It may be run as a signed
applet from within your browser, as a Java Web Start application, or as a
standalone application. In any case, you will need
Java SDK 1.5 or
higher installed to run the application.
When you first start the application, you will be presented with the
following window:
The application requires access to your local file system, and thus all of
the JARs are digitally signed. You may optionally check the "Always trust
content from this publisher" checkbox to avoid having these windows pop up in
the future. Then click the "Run" buttons.
Once the application is running, go to the "File" menu and select "New
Connection".
This will bring up the "Connect to host..." window. Type in the remote host
you which to connect to.
You will then be presented with the "Authentication" method window. These
instructions assume you want to retrieve credentials from a MyProxy server
as the authentication method.
The "Host" should default to your preferred MyProxy server. If not, you can
change it. The "Account Name" corresponds to your username on the local
machine. If this is different from your MyProxy account name, change it.
Then type in your MyProxy "Passphrase" and click the "Use MyProxy" button.
A temporary credential will be downloaded to your temporary directory. On
Linux the file is stored in "
/tmp/x509up_****". On MS-Windows the
file is stored in "
C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local
Settings\Temp\x509up_****".
To completely delete all settings and preferences related to the
application, delete the following files:
In Linux:
rm -rf ~/.globus/certificates
rm -rf ~/.sshterm
rm -f /tmp/x509up_*
In MS-Windows:
del /s %USERPROFILE%\.globus\certificates
del /s %USERPROFILE%\.sshterm
del /s %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp\x509up_*
