Prerequisites

• A valid ETH account
• Local computer with an SSH client
• An X11 server for graphical user interface (optional)

How to get access

• 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
• Upon the first login, a verification code should be sent to your ETH email address (username@ethz.ch)
• Enter the verification code to the prompt

An access code has been sent to your ETH email address.
Enter the access code at the prompt below.
If you do not receive the access code within a few minutes,
then contact us by opening a ticket at
http://smartdesk.ethz.ch

Access code (ending in ******Ls):

• Accept the cluster’s usage rules upon the first access
• Generate SSH keys for passwordless login

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 can create an ETH guest account, e-mail address and VPN service for them
• Then, they can access Euler like members of ETH
