FIT IoT LAB

Setting up FIT IoT LAB platform

SSH External access

Add the public ssh key (your workstation: e.g. ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) to your FIT IoT LAB account.

Create the credentials file:

• replace <fit_login> by your FIT IoT LAB username

• replace <fit_password> by your FIT IoT LAB password

You need to have access to the the FIT IoT-LAB API, for that you need to create a credentials file ~/.iotlabrc on your workstation. The helper command iotlab-auth should already be installed with e2clab.

Setup the .iotlabrc file with your FIT IoT LAB credentials:

iotlab-auth -u <fit_login> -p <fit_password>

In order to allow you to ssh from your workstation to a FIT IoT LAB frontend (e.g., ssh <fit_login>@<frontend>.iot-lab.info), configure ~/.ssh/config (in your workstation) as follows:

Host *.iot-lab.info
    User <fit_login>

Host *.grenoble.iot-lab.info
    ProxyCommand ssh -A <fit_login>@grenoble.iot-lab.info -W "$(basename %h):%p"
    User <fit_login>
    ForwardAgent yes

Host *.saclay.iot-lab.info
    ProxyCommand ssh -A <fit_login>@saclay.iot-lab.info -W "$(basename %h):%p"
    User <fit_login>
    ForwardAgent yes

# You can do the same with other FIT-IoT sites

Note

Replace <fit_login> by your FIT IoT LAB login. Example with grenoble and saclay sites.

Try to access a FIT IoT LAB frontend in grenoble:

# from your workstation
$ ssh grenoble.iot-lab.info
