How to Create a Customized SSH Device Endpoint

If the default settings that PUPM uses to discover privileged accounts do not apply to an SSH Device endpoint, you can create a customized SSH Device endpoint.

To create a customized SSH Device endpoint, do the following:

  1. Customize the SSH Device XML file.
  2. Create an SSH Device endpoint in CA Access Control Enterprise Management. In the Configuration File field, enter the name of the XML file that you created.

    The SSH Device endpoint is created using the custom settings.

  3. Run the privileged accounts discovery wizard on the endpoint you created.

    CA Access Control Enterprise Management searches the endpoint for privileged accounts using the parameters you defined in the XML file.

  4. Review the JCS connector log file (jcs_stdout.log) and JCS connector error file (jcs_sterr.log). The files are located under: 
    ACServerInstallDir/Connector Server/logs
  5. If needed, modify the XML file to resolve the errors that appear in the log files.

Note: For more information about the format of the SSH Device XML file, see the Reference Guide.
