fermi-kerberized-ssh

An easy solution for users to login to Fermi kerberized computers via ssh. Solution uses Vagrant to provision a VirtualBox VM that provides kerberized ssh.

Note: Since this depends on VirtualBox VM then your host hardware needs to be able to run a VirtualBox VM. See VitualBox Documentation for more info.

1. Features

Provisioned via Vagrant -→ VirtualBox VM
Installed with this VM are:
- openssh
- kerberos config file for Fermi

2. Installation of Vagrant, VirtualBox , Vagrantfile

Note that the installation requires some downloads from Fermi and other sites.

Download and install Vagrant from https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

The need for a down rev version of vagrant is not needed any more as the
current version of vagrant fixed the bug.

Download and install VirtualBox from http://www.virtualbox.org/
Download and install VirtualBox extentions from http://www.virtualbox.org/

Note	Mac may need "parallels" stopped before VirtualBox will start.

Make Vagrant directory

   mkdir "someplace you like" or equivalent for Windows
   cd "someplace you like"    or equivalent for Windows

Download the customized "fermi-kerberized-ssh" Vagrant config file from

   http://sldist.fnal.gov/linux/fermi/contrib/vagrant/fermi-kerberized-ssh/Vagrantfile

Make sure the Vagrantfile downloaded is in the directory you made earlier .

3. Provision Virtual box using Vagrant via the "command line"

Provisioning means to install and configure the VM to make it usable for
what you want to do.

The following will be provisioned (it may take many minutes to run)

This will update to latest versions of packages.
Add/Update Virtual Box Guest Additions.
Turn off not needed network services.
Kerberize ssh for use at Fermilab.

   vagrant up

The virtual machine has now been provisioned.

4. LOGIN

TO LOGIN via text mode

   vagrant ssh
   kinit "your kerberos principal"
   ssh <your kerberos principal>@<fermi kerberized computer running sshd that you have access to>

via GUI for Windows users

   Start up your VirtualBox App (the GUI)
   Locate your new VM ( called "fermi-kerberized-ssh" ) and start it
   Login with user "vagrant" and password "vagrant"
   kinit "your kerberos principal"
   ssh <your kerberos principal>@<fermi kerberized computer running sshd that you have access to>

5. TO SHUTDOWN

Exit from the "vagrant ssh"

   exit

On your VM host computer

   vagrant halt

To start up again

   vagrant up
   vagrant ssh

or

   Start VirtualBox gui and start "fermi-kerberized-ssh"
