Management Console for Unix provides an SSH Java Applet console which can be used to access a managed host directly.
To SSH to host
The first time you use the SSH to Host command, it checks to see if you have Java installed and then it sets up a home directory, a known hosts directory and adds this host to your set of known hosts:
It downloads a terminal applet, which can take several seconds. When you initialize the applet, the browser checks for an available JRE. If the browser detects that a JRE is not installed, it prompts you to install one. You must install the Sun JRE, which can take several minutes, before the applet initializes. After you have successfully installed Java, click Close and restart the browser.
The terminal session opens.

Note: If it does not open, see Java Applet Failures for information about troubleshooting SSH to Host issues. |
|
Note: It retrieves the host's credentials from the session or persistent cache if they are present; therefore, the login prompt screen may not display. However, if you want to always be prompted for credentials, select the Always prompt for credentials to access host from SSH terminal in User Preferences. This allows you to use different credentials than the ones that are stored in the session or persistent cache. (See SSH Terminal Access to Host for details.) |
You can upload a new SSH key and replace the one that is cached for a host on the server by importing an SSH host key.
To import SSH host key
(See Known_hosts File Format for details.)
For more information, see Managing SSH Host Keys.
The profiling operation imports system information about the local groups so you can remotely manage them through the mangement console.
A host's properties contains a Groups tab, from which you can manage the local groups.
The topics in this section step you through the local group management tasks you can perform from the Groups view. For a detailed description of these tasks, please refer to the online help.
You can use the mangement console to remotely add a local group to the host.
|
Note: This topic instructs you to set up a local group by the name of "localgroup" referred to by other examples in this guide. |
To add a local group to the host
|
Note: This task requires elevated credentials. Credential information is entered by default from the cache. |
The new local group account is added to the system and mangement console.
