Logging in requires authenticating your credientials using one of two options: __web authentication__ or __SSH key pair authentication__. Additional information on this process will be provided during and/or following your discussion with a Research Computing Facilitator. + + +### Option 1: Log in via Web Authentication + +Logging in via web authentication requires no preparatory steps beyond having access to an internet browser. + +To authenticate using this approach: + +1. Open a terminal and type `ssh username@ap7.ospool.osg-htc.org`, being sure to replace `username` with your `ap7.ospool.osg-htc.org` username. Upon hitting enter, the following text should appear with a unique, but similar, URL: + + ``` + Authenticate at + ----------------- + https://cilogon.org/device/?user_code=FF4-ZX6-9LK + ----------------- + Type 'Enter' when you authenticate. + ``` + +2. Copy the `https://` link, paste it into a web browser, and hit enter. + +3. You will be redirected to a new page where you will be prompted to login using your institutional credentials. Once you have done so, a new page will appear with the following text: "You have successfully approved the user code. Please return to your device for further instructions." + +4. Return to your terminal, and type 'Enter' to complete the login process. + + +### Option 2: Log in via SSH Key Pair Authentication + +It is also possible to authenticate using an SSH key pair, if you prefer. Logging in using SSH keys does not require access to an internet browser to log in into the OSG Access Point, `ap7.ospool.osg-htc.org`. + +The process below describes how to upload a public key to the registration website. It assumes that a private/public key pair has already been generated. If you need to generate a key pair, see the "Step 1: Generate SSH Keys" section of this [OSG guide](https://support.opensciencegrid.org/support/solutions/articles/12000027675-generate-ssh-keys-and-activate-your-osg-login). + +1. Return to the [Registration Page](https://registry.cilogon.org/registry/co_petitions/start/coef:297) and login using your institutional credentials if prompted. + +2.
