ssh_config.properties
Before you can connect to remote installations of Log Analysis, you need to configure the parameters in the ssh_config.properties file.
You can configure the SSH authentication to either use a key file or a passphrase. The settings
in this properties file are used to enable password-less authentication for connections to remote
instances of Log Analysis. For example,
if you use the unity.sh script to check the status of remote deployments of
Log Analysis, the
properties that you configure in this file can be used to allow to check the status of the remote
machine without entering a user name and password.
The ssh_config.properties file is in the <HOME>/IBM®/LogAnalysis/utilities/config directory.
