If you would like to make any changes, please make the appropriate selections for each user and Click on "Submit Changes".

[[BR]] [[BR]] === 7. Collaborating with other members of a slice in the GENIDesktop === To get your GENIDesktop slice page may require some GENI API operation that require the slice to change state. This may confuse other members of the slice who are currently logged on to the GENIDesktop. If you have multiple members in your slice with whom you are working and require all of them using the GENIDesktop at the same time, we ask that you speak to your slice members and co-ordinate your effort. You should not experience any downtime while the GENI Operations occur. [[BR]] [[BR]] === 8. My SSH windows and graphs don't show up/work === Did you see a pop up tab/window in your browser before you were taken to the GENIDesktop page with the graph and SSH menus.

You have to accept each one of them (Self signed cert pages). If you know that you have already accepted these pages and still have problems please email genidesktop-admins@netlab.uky.edu for help. If you missed or cannot see the pages to accept the Self Signed certificate messages, launch the SSH module (button) as a workaround which would force the page. Make sure to watch for it this time.
