Ports
—are connection points between a Raritan Device and a target system or server. Or, a
port can be a device that is directly connected to a LAN/CC-SG via In-band access. In CC-
SG, you click on a port to access and manage the target. The port is essentially the destination
system and should be named appropriately for that system, for example,
NYC_SunSRV1
.
•
SASL
—(Simple Authentication and Security Layer). A method for adding authentication
support to connection-based protocols.
•
SSH
—clients, such as Putty or OpenSSH, provide a command line interface to CC-SG. Only
a subset of CC-SG commands is provided via SSH to administer devices and CC-SG itself—
please see
Chapter 12: Advanced Administration
for additional information.
•
Target Usernames
—specified when configuring in-band parameters of a serial, KVM, or
generic port. When a name is specified, only a password is required when accessing the target.
•
User Groups
—are a set of users that share the same level of access and privileges. For
example, the default user group
System Administrators
has full access to all configuration
tasks and target hosts and servers. All other user groups have restricted CC-SG access and
should typically be employed for users who need port access only to a particular set of
devices or target servers and systems.
