## Accessing Merlin6 NoMachine from PSI
|
## Accessing Merlin6 NoMachine from PSI
|

|
|

The Merlin6 NoMachine service is located **only** in the following login nodes:
|
The Merlin6 NoMachine service is hosted in the following machine:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `merlin-nx.psi.ch`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is the **front-end** (hence, *the door*) to the NoMachine **back-end nodes**,
|
||||||
|
which contain the NoMachine desktop service. The **back-end nodes** are the following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* `merlin-l-001.psi.ch`
|
* `merlin-l-001.psi.ch`
|
||||||
* `merlin-l-002.psi.ch`
|
* `merlin-l-002.psi.ch`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Any access to the login node desktops must be done through **`merlin-nx.psi.ch`**
|
||||||
|
(or from **`rem-acc.psi.ch -> merlin-nx.psi.ch`** when connecting from outside PSI).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The **front-end** service running on **`merlin-nx.psi.ch`** will load balance the sessions
|
||||||
|
and login to any of the available nodes in the **back-end**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Only 1 session per back-end** is possible.
|
||||||

Click on the **New** button to create a new connection:
|
Click the **Add** button to create a new connection to the **`merlin-nx.psi.ch` front-end**, and fill up
|

the following fields:
|
||||||
|
* **Name**: Specify a custom name for the connection. Examples: `merlin-nx`, `merlin-nx.psi.ch`, `Merlin Desktop`
|
||||||
|
* **Host**: Specify the hostname of the **front-end** service: **`merlin-nx.psi.ch`**
|
||||||
|
* **Protocol**: specify the protocol that will be used for the connection. *Recommended* protocol: **`NX`**
|
||||||
|
* **Port**: Specify the listening port of the **front-end**. It must be **`4000`**.

#### Configuring Proxy
|
### Opening NoMachine desktop sessions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In Merlin6, we will check **Don't use a proxy**, and **Continue**:
|
By default, when connecting to the **`merlin-nx.psi.ch` front-end** it will automatically open a new
|
||||||
|
session if none exists.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
If there are existing opened sessions, instead of opening a new session, the screen in the below image.
|
||||||
|
Users can reconnect to any existing session by clicking to the proper icon.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Configuring Connection Name
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
We strongly recommend to add the login node hostname, but
|
Users can also create a second session by clicking on the **`New Session`** button (*red* rectangle in the
|
||||||
you are free to choose any other name for your connection:

|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Authenticating (whenever necessary)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If authentication is required, you will be asked for it. The example below corresponds to **Password**
|
|
||||||
authentication:

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Creating/Re-Connecting Virtual Desktops
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Finally, create a virtual desktop in order to get in. If a previous virtual desktop was created, you
|
|
||||||
might be able to re-attach the session.
