Linux

To create a device, click on  button, or use the  icon on the  Targets or Accounts tab.

In the following window, you can see the device setting options:




If we want to create a Unix-based (Linux, Solaris, CentOS, macOS) resource, the Host key is a mandatory field.

It is located hereby clicking on the icon, you can automatically retrieve the public SSH key of the remote machine: RSA key, ecdsa key, or fingerprint

(depending on what keys are available on the remote machine).



Finally, select the button: 'Load key, I TRUST the host'

The auto-filled host key will now be visible, and the corresponding key type will be filled in above it


Before creation (and later) it is also possible to configure that the passwords of the User accounts under the target system (device) can be retrieved exclusively/exclusively for someone/.

If this field is given a Mandatory value, the user must set the maximum length of time the exclusive request function will be available. This can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 24 hours.

/ If the ID was requested exclusively, it must be 'checked' back to the person who requested it. Until the password has been returned, no other user can request it.

After the mode expires, the IDs that have not been returned will be returned. It is also possible to set the password to change automatically after it is returned. More information about this in the 'exclusive' chapter. /


After creating the device, the User account setting follows, where you can specify:

  • username and password
  • description
  • multifactor key
  • session management settings
