OpenSSH

[Nancy Kafer]

I am trying to configure HP SIM 4.1 to deploy support packs to my managed servers. I installed the OpenSSH services on the same server where I have HP SIM installed. What piece do I need to install on each of the clients so that they talk to the SSH server?

The OpenSSH package contains both SSH client and SSH server. If you want the clients to be able to initiate SSH connections but not respond to them, disable or remove the server part.

If you installed OpenSSH from the package available in software.hp.com, just edit the /etc/rc.config.d/sshd file so that the line

SSHD_START=1

becomes

SSHD_START=0

You may want to install HP Secure SHell instead:

Clients? depends on the client - if Windows, install putty:

If HP-UX, you need to install HP Secure Shell or Openssh.

Hi

You can use the HP version of secure shell

T1471AA A.03.81.002 HP-UX Secure Shell

You can connto the server using ssh clinet or putty,once this is sucesful you can disable telnet.

Ok you'll have to forgive me since I'm new to configuring secure shell. We are running in an all Windows environment. All I want to do is push down support packs and updates from my SIM server. I don't want the client to initiate anything.

I've got OpenSSH services installed on my SIM server and I installed Putty on one of my managed servers. I tried following the document that is part of SIM..."Administering the Software Managed Systems" to make sure SSH is setup properly.

When I try to run mxagentconfig -g I get a message "Failed to connect to ". When I try to push down the update to the server I receive a message "The SFTP subsystem could not be initialized".

What do I need to configure where to get this to work?

Thanks.
