Appearance when using SSH or REXEC with Saved Password Authentication
The Host Account Settings panel of the User Setup Wizard contains a user accounts section and a platform default host and account section when using the SSH with Password Authentication or the REXEC remote startup method.
User Accounts
The User Accounts section of the Host Account Settings panel is used to provide the account password to be used by the OpenSpirit framework to create data connector processes on a different host computer from the application. Initially the account being used to run the OpenSpirit Desktop appears in the User Accounts list. Enter the account password and press the button if the same account name is to be used to run remote data connector processes. It is a good practice to also press the
button after saving the password. This opens a prompt to select a host computer to use when performing the test. Select one of the available hosts or select the <Enter New Host> option to type in the name of a different host. It is recommended to perform the test using the same host that used to run data connectors.
The test button changes to a green check
if the test succeeds. An error message appears and the test button change to a red stop sign, if the test fails. Re-enter the password and press the
button followed by the
button to correct the password error. Consult your OpenSpirit administrator if you are unable to successfully pass the test. There may be an IT infrastructure problem preventing the remote protocol from working on the host selected to perform the test.
Additional accounts can be added to the account list if it is necessary to run a data connector using a different account. This is done by clicking the Add Account icon . This opens a window that can be used to enter the username and password of another account that you would like to use to run data connector processes.
The button on the Add Account window works the same as the test button on the Host Account Settings account list.
Default Host and Account
The Default Host and Account section of the Host Account Settings panel is used to select the host and the account to use as your default for each of the supported operating system platforms used at your site.
Select a host and account for each of the listed platforms. OpenSpirit must be installed and configured on a platform for it to appear in the list. It is good practice to click the button for each default. The test button works the same as the test button on the Host Account Settings account list except there not be a host selection prompt.
