+  2. From the Home tab locate your slice and click on it to load it. 
+  3. On the top click the ''Details'' button. This page should have all the information you need.

 == Get a copy of your ssh key ==
 When you reserve your resources, the tool that you use for the reservation also installs one or more public keys on the hosts so that you can get ssh access. In order to ssh to the machines you will need to get a copy of the private ssh key that correspond to the installed public keys. As before, how to get a copy of the needed ssh key depends on the specific tool.

+==== Using the GENI Experimenter Portal ====
+If you are using your account with the GPO Clearinghouse then if you have used this option, the portal will have a copy of your SSH private key. When configuring your account in the portal you had an option to let the portal generate an SSH key pair for you. '''If you have chosen this option''' then you can:
+   1. [https://portal.geni.net Login to the portal]
+   2. Go the to ''Profile'' tab
+   3. Under the ''SSH Keys'' section you will find a button to download your Private key. When you click it the downloaded file will probably be named :id_geni_ssh_rsa. If you have upload your public key (under the private key column it says N/A) then '''you are the only''' person that has access to their private key. Locate that file and use it in the next steps.
