It is possible to access account resources on both Windows systems (DEI domain) and departmental Linux systems using the same set of credentials (username and password). Therefore, it is no longer necessary to request two different authorizations as was done in the past.

The same personal data is now accessible from both operating environments in a single directory, which can be reached via the path:

• /home/user in Linux environment
  \\nas1\user (Z:) in Windows environment

STEP 1: Creating the secure channel (SSH tunnel) to the license server
Note: The SSH client is usually pre-installed on all modern Linux distributions. If it is not, you can install it using the method provided by your distribution. For example: 

sudo apt-get install openssh-client

on Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu. Or on Fedora-based systems:

sudo dnf install openssh

STEP 1: Creating the secure channel (SSH tunnel) to the license server
Launch the "Terminal" application from the "Applications" folder or by searching for it with Spotlight.

Type the following command in the terminal (ALL ON ONE LINE), replacing MY_LOGIN with your DEI username:

ssh login.dei.unipd.it -L 1890:bella.dei.unipd.it:1890 -L 1891:bella.dei.unipd.it:1891 -l MY_LOGIN

Press Enter and enter your password when prompted.

Windows Procedure
First, you need to have an SSH client installed on your PC, which is a program that allows you to open a specific encrypted connection to the DEI login server. You can, for example, install Bitvise SSH Client or the simpler PuTTY, both of which are available among the attachments.
