What is the difference between eouser and eoconsole on CREODIAS

When you create a virtual machine with CentOS or Ubuntu you can login with 2 different users: eouser or eoconsole.

You can connect from your terminal as eouser.

There is no password needed, you need to use a private key:

ssh -i <path to your private key> eouser@<ip address>

eg.

$ ssh -i .ssh/john-doe.priv [email protected]
