New users, Welcome!!!

Now you have got an account on the MIB system, you should make sure that everything works fine for you.

In here you will find information about how to login into our servers from MIB and outside MIB (home,...)

How to connect to the MIB system

We use the SSH protocol to login to our machines systems, the authentication relies on a global MIB authentication server.

service/protocol
ssh
host name
potato.wurnet.nl

Using Windows

There is more than one way to make a connection, all Windows machines should have access to the program MobaXterm. If that is not the case for you please contact <servicedesk.it@wur.nl>

Using Mac OS

Make sure you have access to a terminal and install the software XQuartz to be able to use graphical interface. You need to set up the VPN to able to login outside WUR environment.

LOG IN

Enter the following command in a terminal to start the login process.

Replace <your_username> with the username you received from the local admin. 

ssh <your_username>@potato.wurnet.nl

OR to enable X server, 

ssh -Y <your_username>@potato.wurnet.nl

When connecting to the system for the first time, SSH will ask you to confirm your wish to login to the machine. Enter yes. Then you will be asked for a password every time you log in. We recommend setting up a ssh key to secure your connection the server, see below.

LOG OUT
