Chapter 6: Secure SSH Tunneling & SDT Connector
6.2.3
Auto-configure SDT Connector client with the user's access privileges
Each user on the Console Server has an access profile. This has been configured with the specific connected hosts and serial
port devices the user has authority to access, and a specific set of the enabled services for each of them. This configuration
can be auto-uploaded into the SDT Connector client:
• Click on the new gateway icon and select Retrieve Hosts. This will:
o configure access to network-connected Hosts that the user is authorized to access and set up (for each of these
Hosts) the services (e.g. HTTPS, IPMI2.0) and the related IP ports being redirected
o configure access to the Console Server itself (this is shown as a Local Services host)
o
configure access with the enabled services for the serial port devices connected to the Console Server
Note: The Retrieve Hosts function will auto-configure all classes of user (i.e. they can be members of user or admin or some
other group or no group). SDT Connector will, however, not auto-configure the root (and it is recommended that this account
is only used for initial config and for adding an initial admin account to the Console Server)
