SSH Access to PubApps

Developers and maintainers of web applications hosted in the PubApps infrastructure can access servers an VMs via ssh from HiPerGator. Access is governed by public ssh keys added to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file of the respective project or service user account in PubApps.

During the initial PubApps instance setup RC staff will add the public keys of the indicated HiPerGator users. After the instance is in use project members with existing access are encouraged to manage the authorized keys as needed, adding new project members or removing the keys of the no longer active project members from the ~/.authorized_keys file of the respective project/service user account.

If you would like to request help from RC staff to manag authorized keys in pubapps please open a support ticket, indicate the project/service user account to be modified, and list the HPG user(s) whose key(s) are to be added to the authorized key list. RC staff will ask for confirmation from the project sponsor or lead before any keys can be added and the support ticket will serve as a change log.
