Each account is independent and belongs to a single user.

Ssh keys :

The access to Mesocenter servers is via a secure SSH connection. To generate your ssh keys on your machine:

  • Under unix : « ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 » then  « cd ~/.ssh »
  • Copy/paste the contents of the public part (id_rsa.pub) into the form below.
  • If you already have a public key, you can attach it to the form in the same way.
  • Under windows, use puttygen to generate the ssh keys and make a copy/paste of the key displayed in <<publickey for pasting into openSSH authorized_keys file>>
  • An ssh public key is a string starting with  » ssh-rsa AAAA » . if you don’t have that , this is not the good one.

 

Information list :

The registration to the mesocentre information list « meso-info@listes.ipsl.fr » is automatic at the opening of the account.
