Setting up FoxyProxy

This only needs to be done once.

Install the ​FoxyProxy extension for Firefox. Restart your browser to complete the installation.

Follow these steps to set up the proxy. Text you should input is bold.

Click the Add New Proxy button

• Proxy Details tab
  • use Manual Proxy Configuration.
  • Host: localhost Port: 1080
  • On MacOS check the box for SOCKS proxy
• URL Patterns tab
  • click Add New Pattern
  • Pattern Name: elab in elab (or anything you want)
  • URL pattern: https?:myboss\..*deterlab\.net/ (for MacOS, append .*)
  • change "Pattern Contains" to Regular expression
  • click OK
• General tab
  • give it a good name, like Elab in Elab tunnel
  • click OK
• Use the Move Up button to move the new pattern to the top of the list

Connecting to Inner Boss

Once you've set up FoxyProxy, whenever you want to connect to inner boss you must start an SSH SOCKS proxy. To do this using the standard OpenSSH command line client, run:

ssh -D 1080 username@users.isi.deterlab.net

You may then access inner boss using the url:

http://myboss.${experiment_name}.${project_name}.isi.deterlab.net/

Fill in ${experiment_name} and ${project_name} with your experiment and project. For instance, the experiment test123 in the example project would use this URL:

http://myboss.test123.example.isi.deterlab.net/

Once you are done, you may close the SSH tunnel connection. You may have to use Ctrl-C if it does not disconnect after you log out.
