User interface

A User Interface or (Grid)-UI is a user interface machine on the Grid. The Grid-UI is your access point to the Grid. You can login on this computer with SSH or GSISSH. On this computer you can, amongst others, do the following things:

• create a proxy
• access Grid resources
• job submission
• job monitoring
• compiling programs
• test your application

For debugging purposes it is good to know that the environment of a user interface is similar to a Worker node

Addresses

The address of the main user interface is ui.grid.sara.nl

Access & account

Linux: ssh myusername@ui.grid.sara.nl.

Windows: use an ssh client (for example: puTTy).
