Connecting to the Server¶
Access to the cstock server requires connecting to a VPN. Follow the steps below to connect to the VPN and access the server.
Prerequisites¶
Before you will be able to login to the cStock server you will need two accounts:
A VPN account (or access to shared VPN credentials).
An account on the cStock server (or access to shared server credentials)
If you don’t have these, ask a system administrator to provide you access.
VPN set up¶
To access the VPN you will need to set up your VPN account and two-factor application. You may need to install an older version of Sophos Authenticator to get the two-factor codes to work.
Once you’ve gotten set up, download the provided OpenVPN config file and save it locally.
Logging in to the VPN¶
On Ubuntu, login to the VPN by running:
sudo openvpn --config ~/user__ssl_vpn_config.ovpn
Enter your credentials, which are you username, followed by your password + 2FA code appended together.
So if your password is hunter2 and the 2-factor code is 123456,
you would enter hunter2123456 for the password field.
For different operating systems, refer to the VPN documentation provided by the system administrator.
Logging in to cstock¶
Once on the VPN, you can access cstock using the SSH command by running:
ssh cstock@10.10.100.77
If you have an individual user account, replace cstock with your username.
For more information on using SSH, see this page.
