If you install the Secure Shell (SSH) public key on installation
targets using methods other than the centralized installation manager,
use the updateKeyInstallationRecords administrative
task command to update the SSH public key records that the centralized
installation manager maintains.
Before you begin
To update the SSH public key records, you must have administrator
privileges.
About this task
You install the public key of a SSH public/private key
pair to securely access installation targets. When you install the
public key using methods other than the centralized installation manager,
update the SSH public key installation records and save the user ID
that is used to access installation targets.
Procedure
- Run the updateKeyInstallationRecords command. The following example updates the SSH public key records for
two sample hosts: abc.com and river.com.
- Using Jacl:
$AdminTask updateKeyInstallationRecords {-add "abc.com,river.com"}
$AdminTask listKeyInstallationRecords
- Using Jython:
AdminTask.updateKeyInstallationRecords ('[-add "abc.com,river.com"]')
print AdminTask.listKeyInstallationRecords()
The listKeyInstallationRecords command lists
the updated records.
- Specify the configuration settings for the installation
target. In the administrative console, click .
- Click Add Installation Target to define
the installation target if you did not do so already. The Installation
target settings panel is displayed. Enter the host name, user ID,
password that you use to access the installation target. Select the
platform type, and click Save.
- Click host_name if you already defined
the installation target. The Installation target settings panel is
displayed. Enter the user ID and password you use to access the installation
target, and click Save.
The Installation Targets panel is displayed. Repeat the
process for all installation targets containing SSH public keys that
are installed using methods other than the centralized installation
manager.
Results
You can access your installation targets using the SSH
authentication method.
What to do next
