 Once you have a SUPR account, you can login to Aurora using the username and password that Lunarc gave you, and remember that you need a mobile phone to complete access.
+==== Required software: ====
+On Linux or Mac, you should have the **ssh client** already installed.
+On Windows you can use putty and optionally some XWindows emulator. More info here: [[it_tips:xwindowswithmswindows]]
+==== Login procedure ====
+access aurora via the hostname ''aurora.lunarc.lu.se'', example:
+<code bash> ssh -X username@aurora.lunarc.lu.se </code>
+When asked about the OTP code, check your mobile phone and insert the code you just received.
+You will be logged in to the **frontend node**. :!: NOTE: :!: it is NOT possible to run your code on the frontend node. This is a very big difference to Iridium. Your code can only run on the dedicated nodes.
+If you run stuff on the frontend you will be kicked out of the cluster.
+Please follow the guide [[aurora_cluster:running_on_aurora]] to know how to run your code.
+Generic login documentation from Lunarc is here:
+http://lunarc-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/login_howto/
+===== Lunarc Graphical Desktop =====
+Lunarc Graphical Desktop is a full desktop solution that runs in front of the cluster.
+You can start your jobs and have your text editors always open and just disconnect.
+Every time you log back in you will have your work environment already up and running.
+Information how to use and access this feature is here:
+http://lunarc-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/using_hpc_desktop/
