Duplicate SSH Host Keys

To ensure uniqueness of hosts, by default, the mangement console prevents you from adding hosts with the same SSH host key. Since a host can have more than one resolvable DNS name and multiple IP addresses, there should only be one SSH host key returned for whichever DNS name or IP address you use to access the host. However, if you want to add hosts with the same SSH key to the mangement console, you can enable this setting. Enable (or disable) the Duplicate SSH host keys setting in System settings.

Note: If you enable Duplicate SSH Host Keys, you can profile multiple hosts that share the same public key. Once this is enabled there will be no way to validate if a host has been added more than once. You could potentially add a host multiple times under alternate IP addresses or DNS names. If this happens, duplicate users and groups would be visible, and reports will show redundant data. One Identity recommends that you NOT enable this feature to ensure that each host has a unique public key. However, it might be desirable to enable this feature if you want to add multiple hosts that are used for replication where each host shares the same public key.

To add hosts with the same SSH host key

  1. Log onto the mangement console using the supervisor account or an Active Directory account with rights to change System Settings; that is, an account in the Console Administration role.

  2. From the top-level Settings menu, navigate to the General settings.

  3. Select the Allow hosts with the same SSH host keys to be added to the console option.

  4. Click OK to save your selection and close System Settings.

Setting session timeout

By default, after 15 minutes of inactivity in the console, users are logged out. You can extend the session timeout to up to 4 hours.

To extend the session timeout period

  1. From the top-level Settings menu, navigate to the General settings.
  2. Under Session Timeout, select your desired timeout period and click OK.

Automatically marking host system users

You can enable the mangement console to mark local user accounts as "system users" when it profiles hosts.

To mark system users automatically during host profile

  1. From the top-level Settings menu, navigate to the General settings.
  2. Under Host System Users, select Mark system users automatically when profiling. (Set by default)

    Note: This setting is set by default. However, it only marks system users automatically during the initial profile.

  3. Enter a UID number or range of numbers to mark.

    Use a colon (:) to signify a range of numbers; comma delimit multiple numbers or ranges. For example,

    0:499,501,555:600

    Note: Do not add extra spaces.

  4. Enter specific account names you want to mark. For example, 
    root,web*,*nobody,ma?k

    Note: Comma delimit multiple names; do not add extra spaces. You can use wildcards in the text string, such as * and ?.

    System users are identified by the icon displayed in the user state column, indicated with the .

Note: You can provide both a UID range and specific user account names.

Console Information settings

Both users and remote hosts use the information on the Console Information settings to find and identify this mangement console on the network.

Note: The Control Center also uses the console information to find and identify this mangement console, as well as perform automatic profile and automatic QAS status tasks.

During the post-installation configuration steps, the console information was set on the Identify Console dialog of the setup wizard. You can modify these settings from System settings | General | Console Information.

Table 16: Console Information settings
Option Description

Console host address

Enter the DNS name or IP address to access this mangement console.

NOTE: This is a critical setting needed by the Profile Automatically and Check QAS Agent Status Automatically features; thus, it is important to use a name that other computers on the network can use to resolve to this host.

Console name

Enter the name of the computer where this mangement console was installed. The mangement console pre-populates this with the computer's DNS name, but you can modify this to identify the computer.
