Running Remotely

To use ADFjobs with remote machines, you need to set up ssh first. You should take care to configure things such that you do not need to type a password when you access your remote machine. To do this you need to:

• create keys,
• run an ssh agent,
• add your public key to the authorized_keys file on the remote machine.
• set up a ssh config file, if needed. This allows you to automatically set options, like the user name to use on the remote machine.

Thus, users (and ADFjobs) should be able to use ssh to log in to the remote machine without ever needing to enter a password.

ADFjobs does not store passwords, it always uses the ssh command to communicate with remote systems.

For more information, consult your ssh documentation or one of the many guides on the internet.
