Using Tivoli Remote Console

Michael Elleby III_1 — Thu, 06 Dec 2001 15:15:16 GMT

Having an issue launching this application from a PC to log into an HP server. This application launches an executable called STARTER on the HP box that then logs the remote console client into the box on the specified port (31111). But the login is failing stating that the user is invalid. The HP box is trusted, so how can I rectify the problem with the application?

To add-

I tested the Remote Console application by untrusting one of the HP boxes, and it worked, so apparently, I need to figure out how to make Remote Console work with a TRUSTED system.

Michael:

You need to contact Tivoli to see if they have a version of the remote console that recognises HP's protected password mechanism for trusted systems (its a bit like shadow passwords on linux/Solaris etc.) - this uses the getprpwent() calls rather than the getpwent() calls for untrusted systems. Do a man on getprpwent and getpwent for full descriptions.

I had a similar problem with f-secure's SSH - I called them and they sent me a copy of SSH that works with trusted systems.

Good luck
