Getting Started
MidwayR uses UChicago CNetID to authenticate users. Similar to Midway, there are two types of accounts: Principal Investigator (PI) accounts and general user accounts. However, the process to get an account on MidwayR is different from that on Midway.
Accessing MidwayR
Accessing MidwayR is a two-step process: First: Login to Secure Data Enclave (SDE) Desktop using the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) client. Second: Once you are connected to the SDE Desktop, login to MidwayR using an SSH client.
Disconnecting from MidwayR
Once you are done using MidwayR, be sure to logout of your session. Like connecting, disconnecting is a two-step process: first, run exit in PuTTY to log out of MidwayR; second, logout from the SDE environment by selecting “Sign out” from the Windows Start Menu.
