I want to connect to the OIT Sun Network using the SecureCRT program.

 

How to do it:

 

SecureCRT is provided on all OIT Computing Lab machines and is available for home computer download from the AU Software page .

 

Follow these steps:

1. Open SecureCRT on your computer. In the OIT Computing Labs, click on "Secure Shell to Mallard" on the computer's desktop.

    



2. Use the Connection window to select where to access. If this window doesn't come up, click the Connection button on the far left.

    

   

    

3. Select Mallard and click Connect. If Mallard is not an option, click the New Connection button (third from the left), enter mallard.auburn.edu as the Hostname, and click OK.

    

4. Fill in your AU User Name for login: and your password for Password: when prompted.
