Question & Answer
Question
How do you configure the EXEC probe for SSH?
Answer
It is possible to create a custom script that uses SSH'es silent login, using encrypted keys.
Copy the user's public key to the authorized_keys file in the remote users .ssh's directory.
To create the public key run the ssh-keygen command.
Remember to not add a passphrase.
Copy the entry in in the users .ssh directory [~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub] to the remote users authorized_keys file in their .ssh directory [~/.ssh].
To create the public key run the ssh-keygen command.
Remember to not add a passphrase.
Copy the entry in in the users .ssh directory [~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub] to the remote users authorized_keys file in their .ssh directory [~/.ssh].
Example script:
#! /bin/sh
# Script : run_some_command.sh
#
# To prevent password prompt copy user's public key to the authorized_keys file
# in the remote users .ssh's directory.
# To create the public key run ssh-keygen
# Do not use a passphrase
# Copy the entry in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the remote users authorized_keys file in ~/.ssh
#
/bin/ssh nrv81@server.ibm.com /opt/nrv81/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/utils/some_command.sh
# Script : run_some_command.sh
#
# To prevent password prompt copy user's public key to the authorized_keys file
# in the remote users .ssh's directory.
# To create the public key run ssh-keygen
# Do not use a passphrase
# Copy the entry in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the remote users authorized_keys file in ~/.ssh
#
/bin/ssh nrv81@server.ibm.com /opt/nrv81/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/utils/some_command.sh
