Prerequisites
Access to Clipper is currently only provided through SSH and is restricted to certain campus networks and VPN. Duo multi-factor authentication enrollment is also required.
Instructions for connecting to GVSU’s VPN can be found at this link: Downloading, Installing and Setting up Ivanti Secure Access VPN
Off-campus users must have the VPN client installed and activated to access Clipper.
Connecting via SSH
An SSH client must be installed on your computer to connect to Clipper. If you’re a Linux or Mac OS user, the integrated Terminal application will work. Windows versions later than Windows 10 1809 also have an integrated SSH client in PowerShell. Many other SSH clients, such as PuTTY, also exist.
Clipper’s public address is port.clipper.gvsu.edu, or simply clipper.gvsu.edu. Either will connect you to Port, which is the cluster’s login node from which all jobs must be submitted.
Connect with your GVSU username and network password.
ssh username@clipper.gvsu.edu
Once your password is accepted, you will be prompted for your Duo two-factor option. Once accepted, you have successfully connected to Clipper!
