Instructions for logging into the ASCI-RED system


The instructions below will assist SNL users logging into the ASCI-RED machine at Sandia (janus.sandia.gov).

How do you login to janus.sandia.gov?


A short version:

To login to janus from a Unix machine running kerberos software, start with the following commands:

% /usr/local/bin/kinit –f

% ssh janus.sandia.gov

The kinit command will prompt you for your kerberos password and generate a forwardable kerberos authentication that will allow you to log on to janus or sasn100 using ssh. Alternatively, if you do not have kerberos on your local Unix machine you can simply type

% ssh janus.sandia.gov

and you will be prompted for your janus password during the login process. Note that from a machine connected to either the Sandia open network (SON) or the Sandia restricted network (SRN) the machine name can be truncated to “janus”.

To log in from a Windows system you must obtain the F-Secure ssh client from one of the web sites listed above. Once the F-Secure software is running, click on the “quick connect” button, type in janus.sandia.gov as the host name (or janus if your local machine is connected to the SON or SRN), supply your user name, and click the connect button. When prompted enter your kerberos password.

Login to sasn100 is achieved using an analogous procedure, except that the machine name sasn100.sandia.gov is substituted for janus.sandia.gov.

Logging on to janus-s and sasn101

Login to janus-s or sasn101 must be performed from a machine connected to the Sandia classified network (SCN). From such a machine, the login procedure is identical to that for janus and sasn100, except that the machine names are janus-s and sasn101.
