What methods can I use to access TeraGrid resources?

Note: The information below assumes you have finished all the initial procedures for getting a TeraGrid allocation. If you have not completed all these steps, see How do I get started using the TeraGrid?

TeraGrid supports three authentication methods:

• Single Sign-On (SSO) using your TeraGrid-wide password:
  
  
  • From the TeraGrid User Portal (recommended)
  • Using a desktop client (Mac OS X, Unix, Linux, Windows)
  • Using non-default certificates

  For instructions for each, see the TeraGrid SSO Quick Start.

• SSH2 key pairs; for instructions, see the TeraGrid SSH with Key Pairs page.
  
  
• Site passwords (available on request; not support by all Resource Provider sites); for instructions, see the TeraGrid Site-Specific Passwords page.
