Rogerk: /* X11 Forwarding */

Secure Shell (or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell SSH]) is a network protocol allowing two computers to exchange data securely over an insecure network. By default use of SSH brings the user to a terminal, but the protocol can be used for other types of data transfer such as [[SFTP]] and [[SCP]].

==Connecting to an SSH Server==
Under RedHat Linux 3, 4, and 5, and Mac OS X, the following command from a terminal will connect a client computer to the UMIACS [[OpenLAB]].
# ssh bkirz@openlab.umiacs.umd.edu
This will give you access to a terminal on any one of the [[OpenLAB]] servers. Note that by default you will not have access to applications that require X11 to run.

On Windows XP or Vista hosts there are no SFTP clients installed by default. Users can install either which will enable SSH and SFTP access.

* [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY]
* [http://ttssh2.sourceforge.jp/ ttssh2]

Alternatively, all users can use the UMIACS Intranet SFTP Web Applet located [https://intranet.umiacs.umd.edu/ssh/ here] without installing any additional software.

==X11 Forwarding==
By default, SSH only gives the user shell access to a host. Enabling X11 Forwarding allows users to run applications with Graphical User Interfaces.

Under RedHat Linux 3, 4, and 5, and Mac OS X, the following command from a terminal will connect a client computer to the UMIACS [[OpenLAB]] using X11 Forwarding.
# ssh '''-X''' bkirz@openlab.umiacs.umd.edu

'''Note:''' Mac users must have X11 installed in their systems for X11 forwarding to work. This can be checked by looking for X11.app in /Applications/Utilities. You can find the installer [http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/x11formacosx.html here].

Windows users can enable X11 forwarding on UMIACS desktops by using cygwin to ssh -X.
If you do not have Cygwin, you will need to forward X through Xming.
First, enable X forwarding on your secure ssh client. The option is under tunneling in the ssh client settings. This only has to be done once.
[[Image:sshXForward.jpg]]
Next, click save in the main ssh appication window to save this setting.

After this has been done, every time you want to use X forwarding, you need to make sure Xming has been started (it will appear in your task tray) through the start menu programs.
Now, you will be able to use Xwindow programs from your ssh client.

Note that the UMIACS Intranet SFTP Web Applet does ''not'' allow X11 Forwarding.

==SSH Tunneling==

You can tunnel one or more ports through an SSH connection such that your packets will look like they are coming from the host you are tunneling to. This is helpful for services that you would be normally blocked by a firewall.

Please see the [[SecureShellTunneling]] page for more information.

==Passwordless SSH with SSH Keys==

There are some situations where it is important to be able to ssh without entering a password. This is mostly required when working in clusters. This is done using ssh keys. Instead of authenticating with a password, ssh can use a pre-defined set of encryption keys to establish an authorized connection. To setup passwordless ssh, do the following.

First, create an ssh key pair:

# ssh-keygen -t dsa

The command will prompt you for a passphrase. If you use a password, you will need to enter it at the beginning of your work session. This is preferable as it is more secure but may cause problems for some clustered work If you simply hit '''[enter]''', you will never be prompted for a password when ssh'ing which can lead to security problems.

This will produce two files, '''id_dsa''' and '''id_dsa.pub''', the private and public keys respectively. Once you've created the keys, you will need to put them into place as follows:

# mkdir ~/.ssh
# chmod 700 ~/.ssh
# mv id_dsa ~/.ssh
# chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_dsa
# touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2
# chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2
# cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys2
# rm id_dsa.pub

It is '''very''' important that you keep your private key secure! Ensure that it is chmod'd to 600 and that you do not put it anywhere visible to other users!

If you did not select a passphrase when you generated your keys, you can now ssh without a password. If you did select a passphrase, you will need to activate the keys as follows:

# ssh-agent [SHELL]
# ssh-add -t [TIME]

In this case, "[SHELL]" is your preferred shell and "[TIME]" is the amount of time you'd like the key to be active in seconds. So, the following would start a bash shell with passwordless ssh active for 30 minutes:

# ssh-agent bash
# ssh-add -t 1800

You will be prompted for your passphrase and, when entered correctly, you will be able to ssh without entering a password.

To disable this functionality, simply delete your private key file ('''~/.ssh/id_dsa''') and remove the public key from your '''~/.ssh/authorized_keys2''' file.

Rogerk: /* Duplex Printing */

=Windows Printing Guide=

For help with printer migration, please see [[WindowsPrintMigration]]

==Introduction==

This will guide you through the process of installing and using the printers here at UMIACS.

==Printing away from UMIACS==

In order to print from outside the umiacs network, you must first connect to the vpn for [[WindowsXPVPN|windows]] or for [[MacOSXVPN|mac]]. After you are connected, follow the instructions for adding a printer queue below. Please note that you must be on the VPN whenever your print.

==Installation of printer queue==

Please note that this applies to machines on any UMIACS network. This includes all proxy networks and the vast majority of machines in the labs but not the wireless network.

To add the printer queues:

Goto start -> run, type in \\printers.pc.umiacs.umd.edu and press enter.
[[Image:runPrintersDialogue.PNG]]

Search for the correct queue you want to add.
The queues are named based on their room number, and appended with an '296-' if they are in the bioinformatics building.

The presence of an nb suffix means that it will not print a banner page containing user name of the person who submitted the print job before printing it out. The name should be similar to the one we just deleted, since we are simply re-adding it.
Printers beginning with an optional 'c' indicate that the printer is a color printer.
The 'ps' or 'pcl' label that comes before the room number indicates the drivers that the queue will be installed with. Both should work equally well. However, if you are having trouble printing out of a ps queue, please try installing the pcl one.
[[Image:printers.PNG]]

Double click the printer that you are trying to add, and windows will automatically add it to your computer, and a display of the print queue will pop up (which you can close).

[[Image:printersQueue.PNG]]

Alternatively, if this does not work, you can right click on ‘My Network Places’, click ‘Search for computers…’ and enter printers.pc.umiacs.umd.edu. If you're connecting from the wireless network, or from a proxy network, you will have to log in. In the field where the login dialog asks for your name, put in PC\username. Here you will see all the printers in UMIACS. To use any of the printers you will need to install it first. The four-digit number in the name of the printer is the room that it is located in. Select a printer that you wish and double click it. You should a screen like this:

[[Image:Windowsprint1.jpg]]

Click yes and the printer will be installed on your machine. It will now appear in the list of printers in Start->Settings->Printers. It will be available to print to from all applications.

In most applications you can go to File->Printing and you will see a number of options available for the printer. Depending on what printer you have selected, different options will appear.

---
To check to see if the printer has added successfully, goto start, and click on control panel and click 'Printers and Faxes.' If the printer is there (in this case, it would be 'cps3142 on PRINTERS'), then the add was successful.

In order to set a printer as default, right click the printer in the printers and faxes windows and select set as default.

Please do this for all the queues that you may need to use.

==Duplex Printing==

Many printers in UMIACS support duplex (or 2 sided) printing. To make duplex printing default, first make sure the appropriate printer queue is installed via the directions above. Afterwards, go to start->printers and faxes.

[[Image:Printsandfaxes.PNG]]

Rightclick on the queue that you want to print duplex and hit properties.
On the next menu, hit printing preferences.

[[Image:printerProperties.PNG]]

Then, the preferences menu should come up. YOu can selected which type of duplex you want under the 'Print on Both Sides' section.

[[Image:duplex.PNG]]

After you have made your changes, hit okay to get out of the menus.

==Transparencies, Special Paper and Secure Printing==

Jobs that require special media (such as letter head, transparencies, etc.) can be printed to the printers that support job retention (link…..). Job retention enables you to send your job to the printer and have it held in the printer until you release it. When you print a job with job retention you can get your media, load it into the printer via the manual feed and then print. To print with job retention select a printer that supports this feature and click properties. Then select the Destination tab.

[[Image:Windowsprint2.jpg]]

Select the options button.

[[Image:Windowsprint3.jpg]]

Select Private Job and file in a title and PIN number and select ok. Once the job has been sent you will need to retrieve it from the printer. Go to the printer and follow these steps:

* Press MENU repeatedly until PRIVATE/STORED JOBS MENU appears.

* Press ITEM until the desired job name appears.

* Press SELECT. PIN:0000 appears.

* Press - VALUE + to change the first number of the PIN, and then press SELECT. An * appears in place of the number. Repeat these steps to change the remaining three numbers of the PIN. COPIES=1 appears.

* Press - VALUE + until the desired number of copies appears.

* Press SELECT to print the job.

Search for the correct queue you want to add.
The queues are named based on their room number, and appended with an '296-' if they are in the bioinformatics building.

The presence of an nb suffix means that it will not print a banner page containing user name of the person who submitted the print job before printing it out. The name should be similar to the one we just deleted, since we are simply re-adding it.
Printers beginning with an optional 'c' indicate that the printer is a color printer.
The 'ps' or 'pcl' label that comes before the room number indicates the drivers that the queue will be installed with. Both should work equally well. However, if you are having trouble printing out of a ps queue, please try installing the pcl one.

Double click the printer that you are trying to add, and windows will automatically add it to your computer, and a display of the print queue will pop up (which you can close).
