2. Add Sigma IPs to your allowlist.
3. Create an SSH user account, and name it sigmacomputing.
   The user sigmacomputing authenticates through the public key.
4. Authorize Sigma's public key according to the instructions of your SSH server.
5. For most servers, the SSH default port is 22. It is also the default port on Sigma.
   Check that the port on your SSH server matches the port on Sigma.
6. In Sigma, navigate to your connection’s page in the Admin Portal.
7. Under Connection Credentials, switch on the SSH Tunnel.
   Set these parameters:
   

   Tunnel host

   This is your IP address.

   Tunnel port

   This value must match the port of your SSH server.

   Sigma's defaults to port 22, which is common for most servers.

   
8. If you are editing an existing connection, click Save.
   If you are creating a new connection, continue specifying the Connection features, Write access, and so on.
