Configuring ITO
Preconfigured Elements
UNIX Access to the Managed Node for ITO Users
By default, the UNIX user cannot log into the managed node directly;
this is the result of an asterisk (*) in the password field of
/etc/passwd .
Access to ITO’s Virtual Terminal application, and to other applications in
the Application Desktop using the Window (Input/Output) option (see
the
Add/Modify Application window) only work if the user is allowed
to log into the managed node on which the application is to be run. The
following methods can be used to enable logins:
❏ Provide a $HOME/ .rhosts entry on the managed node for every
UNIX user from the management server. $HOME is the home
directory of the executing user on the managed node.
❏ On the managed node, provide a /etc/hosts.equiv entry for the
management server. This solution is preferable to the method above if
you log in or run applications on the managed node as many different
users.
❏ Set a password for the executing user on the managed node, if not yet
done. Use this password in the corresponding ITO windows.
Access to Windows NT Nodes for ITO Users
The UNIX user has only limited access to Windows NT managed nodes,
most notably; via ITO’s virtual terminal application. This application
is a part of the Windows NT agent, and is not available unless the agent
is running on the Windows NT node. The virtual terminal can be invoked
from ITO Application Group: NT Tools by double clicking the
appropriate icon. No password is required.
It is not possible to direct the Windows NT terminal’s display to a UNIX
terminal. Because of this, access via the virtual terminal is restricted to
command-line actions. Any programs that invoke a graphical user
interface cannot be used.
