How to get access

• Request authorization of your ETH account from cluster-support@id.ethz.ch
• Start your SSH client
• Use ssh command to connect to the login node of Euler or Leonhard Open

 ssh username@euler.ethz.ch
 ssh username@login.leonhard.ethz.ch

• Use your ETH credentials to login
• New users must accept the cluster’s usage rules upon first login
• You can generate SSH keys for passwordless login

Current users

To regain the access after the incident on 15 May, all users have to change their LDAP password and generate a new SSH key.

• Change your ETH password at https://password.ethz.ch
• Wait for one working day. The change should become active on the next day from 8am.
• If you have waited for one working day and could still not access the cluster, please contact us.
• Regenerate SSH keys

External collaborators

• Members of other institutions who have a collaboration with a research group at ETH may use the clusters for the purpose of said collaboration
• Their counterpart (“sponsor”) at ETH must create an ETH guest account for them, including e-mail address and VPN service
• Once this is done, they can access Euler like members of ETH
