Access a Workspace with SSH

SSH access is only needed if you'd like to connect to your server directly.  SSH access to a Workspace is only possible by OpenSSH Key.

To access the Workspace you need to follow the following 2 steps:

  1. Add the public key into SRAM. (You only have to do that once.)
    This will set your public key into your profile.
  2. Access the Workspace with SSH.
    Use your favourite/available own SSH client to connect to your Workspace.

Add public key into SRAM. (only has to be done once)

To SSH login to your Workspace you have to add your public SSH key into you account. It needs to be added to the SRAM authentication website.

  2. In the top right click on the  button to login.
  3. Enter your mail address to be redirect to your SSO login page.
  4. Once you logged click on the 'Profile' button next to the Home.
  5. In the SSH public key enter you public key from you local public key file or browse to the file by clicking on the 'File import' button.
  6. Make sure you key is added into the line.
  7. Click  at the bottom of the page.
  8. The update of the public key can take up to 15 min to replicate.

Access the Workspace with SSH

There are several ssh clients to access your Workspace and you can use the one you like as long as it supports public keys.

When you are working from a Linux machine, the SSH commands are already installed and ready to be used from a terminal.

On a Mac the SSH command is also available by default.

When you are working from a Windows machine, we recommend GitHub Desktop or MobaXterm.
