Login to the Bianca console environment with a password from outside of the Swedish university networks

There are multiple ways to log in to Bianca.

This page describes how to log in to Bianca using a terminal and a password from outside of the Swedish university networks.

Danger

  • Do not log in to a SUNET server like Pelle and from there log in to Bianca.
  • This will let all sensitive data land on that server uncrypted as an intermediate step.
  • Other clusters in SUNET are not secure systems and could be spied on.

Procedure with using Pelle as a "jump host"

  • Log in to Bianca via Pelle in one line
ssh sven@bianca.uppmax.uu.se -J sven@pelle.uppmax.uu.se
sven@pelle.uppmax.uu.se's password:
sven@pelle.uppmax.uu.se) Second factor (TOTP UPPMAX):

Provide your normal UPPMAX password. You will supply the TOTP code separately, in the next step.

(sven@bianca.uppmax.uu.se) Password:
(sven@bianca.uppmax.uu.se) Second factor (TOTP UPPMAX):
  • You are now inside the Bianca session and sensitive data is not seen by Pelle at all.

Procedure with using any server within SUNET as a "jump host"

We give here an example of using Transit cluster. Replace "Transit" with the cluster or server (in SUNET) you have account on.

  • Log in to Bianca via Transit in one line:
ssh sven@bianca.uppmax.uu.se -J sven@transit.uppmax.uu.se
(sven@transit.uppmax.uu.se) Password:
(sven@transit.uppmax.uu.se) Verification code:

Provide your normal UPPMAX password. You will supply the TOTP code separately, in the next step.

(sven@bianca.uppmax.uu.se) Password:
(sven@bianca.uppmax.uu.se) Second factor (TOTP UPPMAX):
  • You are now inside the Bianca session and sensitive data is not seen by Transit (or the server you use) at all.
