Notes:

• This command will fail if the component is not started.
• When no command line options are specified, login to the component using the default console that is specified for the component.
• The ssh login is performed using a special appliances ssh key installed on your grid. This key does not need a passphrase -- it is assumed that if you are logged in on the controller, you are authorized to log in on the appliances. Contact Technical Support if you cannot log in on an appliance or if you believe your appliance key has been compromised and want to have it replaced.

Graphical console should be accessed through the CA 3Tera AppLogic GUI.

Whenever a user logs into an appliance, CA 3Tera AppLogic creates an environment variable named _APPLOGIC_USERID which contains the name of the user that logged into the appliance. This is only valid if the appliance uses the DHCP configuration mode (APK).
