  1. Turn on GSSAPI options in your ~/.ssh/config file.

    Code Block
    # Specifies whether user authentication based on GSSAPI is allowed.
    GSSAPIAuthentication yes
    
    # Forward (delegate) credentials to the server.                   
    GSSAPIDelegateCredentials yes
    
  2. On your non-SLAC machine:

    Code Block
    kinit --renew || kinit --renewable userid@SLAC.STANFORD.EDU
    

    replace 'userid' with your SLAC username, and replace 'machine' with a slac machine (eg, centos7.slac.stanford.edu).

  3. Then each time before you ssh (or at least once per day), renew your Kerberos ticket with this command :(if the renew fails, then you will be prompted to enter your password to get a new Kerberos ticket). As long as your ticket remains renewable and hasn't expired, you can renew it for a longer period without having to enter your password again.

    Code Block
    kinit --renew || kinit --renewable userid@SLAC.STANFORD.EDU
    
  4. You can run the 'klist' command on your remote machine to view your Kerberos ticket:

    Code Block
    klist
    

    'klist -v' will show more details.

  5. Now you can ssh to slac using Kerberos GSSAPI Authentication:

    Code Block
    ssh userid@machine.slac.stanford.edu
