Updating Secure Shell public key installation records

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

  1. 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.
  2. Specify the configuration settings for the installation target. In the administrative console, click System administration > Centralized Installation Manager > Installation targets.
    • 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

Use the user ID that you specified in the preceding steps to install fix packs and interim fixes. In the administrative console, click System administration > Centralized Installation Manager > Available installations.
