Login to the Bianca console environment with a password from outside of SUNET

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 or Rackham or Arrhenius 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 Rackham as a "jump host"

  • Log in to Bianca via Rackham in one line
ssh sven@bianca.uppmax.uu.se -J sven@rackham.uppmax.uu.se
sven@rackham.uppmax.uu.se's password:
sven@rackham.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 Rackham at all.
