Tower Agent credentials

Tower Agent enables Seqera Platform to launch pipelines on HPC clusters that do not allow direct access through an SSH client. Tower Agent authenticates a secure connection with Seqera using a Tower Agent credential.

Tower Agent sharing

You can share a single Tower Agent instance with all members of a workspace. Create a Tower Agent credential, with Shared agent enabled, in the relevant workspace. All workspace members can then use this credential (Connection ID + Seqera access token) to use the same Tower Agent instance.

Create a Tower Agent credential

1. Add your credentials to your organization or personal workspace:

   • From an organization workspace: Go to Credentials > Add Credentials.
   • From your personal workspace: From the user menu, go to Your credentials > Add credentials.

2. Complete the following fields:

   • Name: Specify a unique name for the credentials using alphanumeric characters, dashes, or underscores. For example, my-agent-creds.
   • Provider: Select Tower Agent.
   • Agent connection ID: The connection ID used to run your Tower Agent instance. Must match the connection ID used when running the Agent (see Usage below).
   • Shared agent: Enables Tower Agent sharing for all workspace members.
   • Usage: Populates a code snippet for Tower Agent download with your connection ID. Replace <TOKEN_NAME> with your Seqera access token.

3. After you've completed all the form fields, select Add. The new credential is now listed under the Credentials tab.
