Command Shell tab
Use the Command Shell tab to configure authentication settings for using the Application Manager command shell.
Controls and fields on the Command Shell tab:
User authentication for invoking the command shell: The end-to-end
automation manager requires authentication when a user starts the end-to-end automation manager
command shell by entering the eezcs command. By default, users
are always prompted for their user credentials. You have the choice between these authentication
modes:
- Read user credentials from stdin
- Users must always specify their user credentials in the shell window by using the -u and -p options.
- Prompt for user authentication
- Users are always prompted for their credentials by an X11 dialog unless they specify them when they use the command shell.
- Use specified user credentials
- A shared user ID is used for authentication, which prevents users from being prompted for their
credentials when they use the command shell.
Specify the shared user ID and the corresponding password in the fields User ID and Password. Only the following ASCII characters can be used for the user ID: A–Z, a-z, 0–9, and _ (underscore).
To change the password, click Change.Note: If the hardware adapter is configured to manage hardware for distributed disaster recovery with GDPS®, specify the user credentials independent from the selected authentication mode. Correct authentication is ensured when the hardware adapter internally uses the command shell in this setup.
User authentication for invoking commands against first-level automation (FLA)
domains: If the command shell is used to run FLA domain commands, more
authentication is required to access FLA domains. Choose between the following authentication
modes:
- Read FLA domain access credentials from stdin
- Specify the FLA domain access credentials in the command shell window by using the -du and -dp options.
- Use FLA domain credentials as specified under "User credentials"
- Omit FLA domain access credentials in the command shell window if credentials are defined for the respective domain on the "User credentials" tab (see User Credentials tab).
