Configure SSH

PuTTY

1. Open up PuTTY and load a saved PuTTY session for the SSH server you'll be connecting to with DuoConnect.

2. Expand the Connection category on the left-hand side of the PuTTY session window, and then click on Proxy. The "Options controlling proxy usage" appear on the right-hand side of the window.

3. Under "Proxy type" select Local.

4. Under "Telnet command, or local proxy command" copy and paste in the DuoConnect connection string you received from your Duo administrator.

    

   Here's an example of what the command might look like:

    

   duoconnect -host %host:%port -relay=https://sshg.engr.utexas.edu

5. Return to the saved PuTTY session window and click Save to update the session with the DuoConnect information.

6. Repeat the saved session configuration steps for all SSH servers you will access using DuoConnect.

7. Test your SSH connection.
