Requirements

The target system must have:

  • Unix operating system (Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX are supported)

  • OpenSSH installed

Consider the following when planning to set up temporary SSH trust relationships:

  • SSH public and authorized key discovery must be enabled for the target system. Listing and managing SSH keys are supported for the following target system types:

    • Generic Linux Server (SSH)

    • Oracle Solaris Server 9.x+ (SSH)

    • AIX Server (SSH)

    • HP-UX Server (SSH)

    SSH public key files being added or removed from HP-UX servers must have the comment removed from the file.

See Unix and Linux Server (SSH) in the Connector Pack documentation for more information on targeting these systems.

  • Only valid public keys and authorized keys on Unix servers are loaded when running auto discovery. SSH key files must be less than 100,000 KB in size (by default) and must be in OpenSSH format.

  • It is best practice to disable password authentication when using a public key infrastructure for authentication.

    In Connector Pack 3.2.x, the agtlinux-keymgmt connector was used for SSH key management. After upgrading from Connector Pack 3.2.x to 3.3.0 (or newer), targets using this connector will need to be reconfigured to use agtlinux instead as these two connectors have been merged together.
