==== The concept ====

}}}

 * a cluster of access nodes will be used for an automatic and transparent forwarding to a suitable work group server of your group.
 * the deciding factor is your primary login group
 * choose the wgs with the lowest load
 * the user has possibilities to choose another destination or another group
 * users of groups which haven't an own wgs will be forwarded to a public wgs

==== Advantages ====
 * the access systems need only an ssh and kerberos clearance in the firewall
 * backdoors are not possible
 * local root exploits on the access systems pose not longer a serious risk (except for the sshd )
 * Users of different groups will be distributed across different machines

==== Problems in the past ====
 * Whenever cases of local root exploits came to light, we had have to act immediately. (multiple in the year, '''one''' compromized user account is sufficient)
 * Although all available security updates are rolling out quickly the login hosts are threatened by zero-day exploits
 * All users used the same login hosts. Several times the pubs could not used by other users because of overload (misusage for job processing, mathematica process or similar).

=== SSH Login without Password ===

For security reasons SSH key authentication is not allowed for remote sessions from the Internet. They're also mostly useless internally.

Passwordless access is possible using GSSAPI authentication. This requires a Kerberos 5 ticket for our realm (see `/etc/krb5.conf` on one of our systems for a configuration example) and the use of the openssh options `GSSAPIAuthentication` and `GSSAPIDelegateCredentials` (recent versions enable both with the `-K` parameter).

WARP - The Concept for Remote Login Service with more Safety

Remote login with SSH

The SSH is available from outside to DESY Zeuthen on the following public login hosts

  • pub.zeuthen.desy.de (pub1-pub6) - deprecated - only use if warp doesn't work for you

  • transfer.zeuthen.desy.de for I/O intensive data transfers from/to outside. /acs and /lustre are available.
