When following along with one of these step-by-step guides, make sure that you have a running workspace (see How to get on board).

Workspace Access to Jupyter Notebooks

...

through SRAM

To log in to a Jupyter Notebook workspace you can just use the same credentials as you use for the Research Cloud portal.

Most probably these are your institute's credentials - or EduID. The SRAM login method we introduced for Jupyter Notebooks had to be rolled back due to issue, currently the Jupyter Notebook uses the TOTP login method until we solved the SRAM logins issues, and can re-activate it. 

Workspace Access with TOTP

...

To couple the Authy Desktop app, paste the image link into the form there and click "verify authenticator":

Info
titleTOTP and sudo/administrator access

Windows-, and some Linux-workspaces are configured such that only members of the src_co_admin group can get administrator or sudo access.

When you are prompted for your password to use your administrator/sudo rights, you fill in the TOTP password that is generated by your authenticator app.

Workspace access with SSH

SSH access is needed if your workspace has no desktop or web-interface. Or if you want to use the scp command to upload and download data to and from your workspace.

titleMore info on ssh on Windows

If you want to read more on ssh on Windows you can check here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_keymanagement

You only have to install and configure the SSH client.

(In the case of Research Cloud, the "server" is the workspace you will log in to and SSH is already installed, there.)

Older Windows versions

If you are running older versions of Windows, we recommend GitHub Desktop or MobaXterm.

These separate pages describe how to set up these tools:

Workspace access with SRAM

SURF Research Access Management (SRAM) is a service to manage access to research resources, intended for Dutch led research collaborations.

Jupyter Notebook workspaces that are created after 18st of January 2024 can be accessed using SRAM.

To access a workspace based on SRAM authentication select your institute (or EduID) and follow the instructions on the screen.

Older Jupyter Notebook workspaces or earlier derivates of the Jupyter Notebook catalog item still require TOTP. (See above for TOTP)

You can add SRAM authentication to your own custom-made catalog item. For that, see the page Catalog item with SRAM login.
