Using an X11 alternative like VNC in MobaXterm requires two tunnels through the NAS SFEs. However, we highly recommend using Virtual Network Computing (VNC) for graphical work on NAS back to your local machine, as it is generally faster than X11 forwarding. If you enabled X11-forwarding in the Advanced SSH settings tab when you initiated your SSH session, you can run X and OpenGL applications. You will be prompted for your passphrase and RSA SecurID passcode. Note: To connect to other NAS systems, (for example, pfe26 instead of pfe24) you must start a new connection. No passphrase or passcode will be needed: Click the Sessions section, and select the session you want to duplicate:Ī new xterm tab will be created and logged in. If the original login session is still running, you can duplicate it to create new login sessions.

MobaXterm will log into the NAS system that you set in Step 3 (in this example, pfe24):

You will be prompted to enter your SSH key passphrase (if set), and then your RSA SecurID passcode.

Note: From now on, the session will be displayed in the Recently used section when you start MobaXterm, and you can start the login process by double-clicking it there. (Optional) In the Bookmark settings tab, name this session for future use.

On the Network settings tab, enter the information used to go through the SFE (the gateway SSH server, your NAS username, and the path to the private key):.

If you like, you can also enable X11 forwarding on this tab.

On the Advanced SSH settings tab, enter the path to your public key.

Point MobaXterm to your public key file (rsa_id) in two places:.

In the Remote host field, enter the full hostname of a PFE or LFE.In the Session settings window, click the SSH icon in the top menu to select the SSH tab.Click the Session icon in the top left corner of the MobaXterm client window (or use Ctrl-Shift-N).If you have SSH Passthrough set up, complete these steps to connect directly from your Windows system to a PFE or LFE: Method 2: Creating a New SSH Session to Connect Directly to a PFE or an LFE

SETUP SSH TUNNEL PASSWORD

To remove your old NAS password, go to the the MobaXterm Settings dropdown menu and select Configuration then select MobaXterm passwords management then select the password that was changed, and click Delete. Note: After you change your NAS password, you might have to remove your old password stored in MobaXterm before you can enter the new password when prompted. Once you are connected to the SFE, you can use the Linux command line to ssh into a PFE or LFE. You will be prompted for only the RSA SecurID passcode. Option: If you have set up public key authentication between your local Windows system and the SFEs, before you click OK you can provide the path to your public key file (id_rsa) in the Advanced SSH settings tab, as shown below.

Click OK, and enter your NAS password and your RSA SecurID passcode when prompted.

In the Specify username field, enter your NAS username.

In the Remote host field, enter the full hostname of an SFE.

In the Session settings window (shown below), select the SSH tab by clicking the SSH icon in the top menu.

Click the Session icon in the top left corner of the initial window (or use Ctrl-Shift-N).

Method 1: Creating a New SSH Session to Connect to an SFEĬomplete these steps to create a new SSH session to connect to a secure front end (SFE). If you have SSH Passthrough set up, you can connect directly to a PFE or LFE using Method 2. If you do not have SSH Passthrough set up, use Method 1 to first connect to a secure front end (SFE), then log into a Pleiades or Lou front end (PFE or LFE).

SETUP SSH TUNNEL SOFTWARE

If a full software installation is not possible, you can use the standalone version (Portable Edition).Ī paid version (MobaXterm Professional) is also available.

SETUP SSH TUNNEL FULL VERSION

If you have admin privileges on your local system, you can install a full version (Installer Edition) with Start menu support. MobaXterm Home Edition is available for free, and should be sufficient for most users. It cannot be used for remote transfers utilizing the Secure Unattended Proxy ( SUP) with Shift or other commands. Note: MobaXterm is only useful if you are using SSH to connect to NAS systems. You can also use it to create VNC sessions. MobaXterm includes a built-in X11 client, and has the ability to forward X11 from NAS systems back to your local system. You can use MobaXterm to connect from your local Windows system to NAS systems via SSH, as an alternative to Cygwin/OpenSSH.
