Seneca College is "rolling-out" additional measures to improve '''network security'''. One of these measures is to implement '''multi-factored authentication'''. As of '''September 2020''', all All Seneca College students are required to connect to the '''Seneca Student VPN''' in order to be able to connect to their '''Matrix''' Linux accountwhen outside of campus as a '''network security''' measure.<br><br>The Seneca Student VPN uses multi-factor authentication (MFA) when logging in to verify you are who you say you are. ''<b>Multi-factor authentication</b> is an electronic authentication method in which a computer user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism: knowledge (something the user and only the user knows).'' Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-factor_authentication<br><br> You should have received an email e-mail message (also available in course announcements) regarding with instructions on how to setup set up your Smart Phone to connect and valid via the Seneca Student VPNsmartphone for multi-factor authentication. '''NOTE:''' If you haven't done this installed it yet, please perform the steps provided in do so by following the following linkITS instructions here:<br>https://students.senecacollege.ca/spaces/186/it-services/wiki/view/1025/student-vpn<br><br>

In the next investigation, you will learn how to '''connect''' to and '''login''' to your Matrix server account from a remote computer<br>such as your '''home desktop computer''', '''laptop''' or '''tablet''' computer.<br><br>

[[Image:clicls-promptshell.png|thumb|right|80px100px|Connect to Matrix via'''ssh''' command]]There are two basic methods to connecting to your Matrix account. '''Method 1: Run ssh Command from command prompt:''' :After connecting to the '''Seneca Student VPN''', you can open a '''command terminal'''<br>in your '''Newer Windows 10(or above)''', '''Mac''' or '''Linux''' computer and issue the following command:<br><br>: <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;">ssh senecauserid@matrix.senecacollege.ca</span><br><br> [[Image:ssh-applicationmain-iconwindow.png|thumb|right|80px100px|]]You can also click on the following link Connect to Matrix via '''downloadgraphical''' and SSH Program ]]'''installMethod 2: Run graphical ssh program via MyApps in Seneca computer lab:'''  :If you are in a Seneca computer lab, you can use MyApps to run a '''graphical SSH application ''' for your Windows machine:<br>https://www.sfsuOne advantage of using this method is that you are already at Seneca and are NOT required to connect to the student VPN.edu/ftp/win/ssh/SSHSecureShellClient-3.2.9 '''NOTE:''' You instructor may show you how to run a graphic Linux VM in order to connect to your Matrix account (if interested, refer to the optional tutorial at the end of this semester).exe<br><br>

===METHOD 1: CONNECTING TO YOUR MATRIX ACCOUNT FROM YOUR HOME COMPUTER===

'''Perform the Following Steps:'''# Before proceedingIf you want to connect to your Matrix account from home, make you MUST first connect to the Seneca Student VPN.<br>Make certain that your '''Seneca Student VPN is connected'''.<br><br>'''NOTE:''' If you haven't set this up, refer to the following link for instructions;<br>https://students.senecacollege.ca/spaces/186/it-services/wiki/view/1025/student-vpn<br><br>'''NOTE:''' You only have to connect to your Seneca student VPN once during the day,<br>or while you are logged into your computer.<br><br>

<th>'''Newer Version of Windows 10(or above):'''</th> <th>'''MacOSXmacOS:''' </th>

 ===CONNECTING TO YOUR MATRIX ACCOUNT FROM SENECA COMPUTER LAB==<span style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">NOTE: This section requires you have access to a Seneca computer lab on campus.<br>If you don't have access to a Seneca computer lab this semester, then you can skip this section</span><br><br>

One advantage of this method is that your are at the college; therefore, '''you do NOT have to worry about connecting to the Seneca VPN'''. Another advantage of using this method is to introduce you to a '''graphical program''' to allow you connect to your Matrix account as opposed to using the '''ssh''' command (shown in the previous section).<br><br>

You will learn how to connect to your Matrix Linux account from a workstation in your computer labs at Seneca college. This method would also be useful if you do '''not ''' have a home (notebook ) computer and are required have access to use one of the workstations available in your a Seneca computer labworkstation.<br><br>

You will now use '''MyApps ''' on your Windows workstation in your Seneca lab room to launch an application<br>to allow you to connect and login to your Matrix server account.

# Make certain that the '''MyApps''' window is open. This window should have opened shortly after you logged into your Windows workstation. If the application windows is not open, click on the '''MyApps''' icon on the desktop to launch).<br><br>[[Image:ssh-main-window.png|thumb|right|150px|SSH Client Application Window ]]<span style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">NOTE: You may be required to validate in order to use MyApps correctly. If you see near the top of the screen "requires validation", then click on that area to connect to validate.</span><br><br>

# Click '''OK''' or press '''ENTER''' at the '''Authentication Response''' dialog box.<br><br>'''NOTE:''' If you encounter an '''error message''', this can occur for several reasons:<ol><li>You mis-spelled the '''name of the server'''</li><li>You mis-spelled your Matrix '''username''' (same username that you connect to my.senecacollege.ca)</li><li>You have '''CAPS LOCK''' on by mistake (your username should be '''lowercase''' only).</li><li>You mis-spelled your '''password''' (same password that you connect to my.senecacollege.ca)</li></ol><br>If you encountered an error logging in, issue the same steps to connect to your Matrix account,<br>but carefully check your server name, username and your password. If you continue to experience the same problems,click on the following link for IT service desk contact info: <br>you can go to the computer help [https://students.senecacollege.ca/spaces/190/support/wiki/view/1473/contact-its '''IT service desk in the learning commons to get help'''].<br><br>[[Image:ssh-shell-window.png|thumb|right|150px|Matrix Shell Command Line Interface ]]#If you entered your password correctly, the main SSH Linux shell should appear where you enter Linux commands.<br><br>The '''Matrix''' server has been configured to allow users to '''only interact with the Linux OS by issuing commands'''. There are various reasons for this, but the main 2 reasons are to '''force students to learn how to issue Linux commands''' as well as '''limitations to remote access to a graphical Linux server''' due to large number of users (students).<br><br>Later in the course, your instructor may demonstrate other ways of accessing '''graphical versions of Linux''', and how to launch a shell terminal.<br><br>[[Image:ssh-settings-window.png|thumb|right|150px|SSH Settings Dialog Box ]]

In the next sectioninvestigation, you will learn how to connect issue Linux commands from the command prompt (referred to as the "shell"), learn how to get help with Linux commands, use command-line editing short cut keys, and run a program to confirm that you connected to your Matrix server account from a different computer<br>(in order to get marks for example: your laptop computer at Seneca College or your computer at home)this online tutorial.<br><br>

:* Issue a '''program''' to confirm that you connected to your Matrix account<br><br> ==Linux Command Structure==

The Bash shell in Matrix allows you to interact with your Matrix account Linux by issuing typing commands.

'''The General basic Linux Command Structure command structure is as follows:'''<br><span style="font-family:courier;color:blue;font-weight:bold">command argument1 argument2 ... </span>

Some Linux commands can be issued by entering the Linux command line without arguments (e.g. '''pwd''', '''date''', '''ls''', '''cal'''),<brspan style="font-family:courier;color:blue;font-weight:bold">but many Linux commands can be issued with arguments (ecommand argument1 argument2 .g. '''cal 2002''', '''cd /bin''', '''ls -l -a /bin''' ).<br><br/span>'''What Does an Argument Represent?'''

An Some Linux commands can be used as-is (e.g. '''argumentpwd''' can respresent::* a , '''date''', '''file pathnamels''':* a command , '''optioncal''':* a series of characters ), but many Linux commands can also be issued with arguments (ie.eg. '''textcal 2002''', '''cd /bin''', '''ls -l -a /bin''') that the command can use .

'''What is an argument?''' An argument is used to change the default behaviour of a command. Arguments come in three major forms: # A command '''option'''.#* Example: <code>-l</code># A '''file pathname'''.#* Example: <code>/etc</code># A series of characters (i.e. '''text''') that the command can use.#* Example: <code>"Hello, world."</code> An '''argument''' is <u>must be separated</u> from a command (or and from other arguments) by whitespace (a '''SPACE''', '''MULTIPLE SPACES''' or a '''TAB''').<br><br>

# Make certain Confirm that you are logged into your Matrix account.<br><br># Issue the following Linux command: <span style="font-family:courier;color:blue;font-weight:bold">pwd</span><br><br>#* '''Explanation:''' The output from this Linux command basically shows your '''current location''' in on the Matrix server(otherwise known as your '''p'''resent '''w'''orking '''d'''irectory).<br>This represents a '''directory pathname''' to your home directory.
