been configured, a password has been set, and the client is booted to the system installation process, there is
little security risk, but it is worth noting that the remote user will have access to all system installation process
options and installation media available to the client system.
RIM access is only provided after booting from SBAdmin system installation boot media and either:
a. Enabling RIM access within the system installation menus from the client
or
b. Pre-configuring automatic enabling of RIM access when the installation media is configured.
In either case, a password is selected that the remote ssh program must use to connect to the client’s
installation process.
Encryption Keys
Encryption keys are entered on the client system using the stkeys command. This prevents the encryption keys
from being passed across the network in any form. The encryption keys are stored in a file on the client system,
unreadable by any user other than “root”, and neither the file or the information therein is ever sent over the
network.
