Bastion

The Bastion server is the front door of our VPN that contains all our private servers. It also runs some of our services such as our Proxy Access (via Splash) and our Marvell management server. To access any physical server, first you must access the bastion server. Then, you can go from there to other servers.

To access the Bastion server, you are required to have a PEM key. This key is generated for you by our team. It will have a strong password associated with it as well. You login with the following credentials.

ssh -i ~/.ssh/your.name.pem [e-mail]

You will only enter your password the first time. And, you will have access in your own folder/directory. You are NOT root, but you have SUDO.

Docker is running on this machine, and you have access via sudo.

Creating a new user

• Put yourself into root: sudo su
