Connect via OpenOnDemand

The easiest way to connect to Unity is at ood.unity.rc.umass.edu.

Unity OnDemand uses your organization's identity provider to give access to Unity. This means that you no longer need to install SSH, configure SSH, setup public and private keys, all you need to do is login with your browser like any other site. The end result is the same.

Getting a Login Shell

Login to Unity OnDemand with your organization's identity provider, and click on Unity Shell Access.
