Types of SSH Device XML Configuration File

CA Access Control provides the following SSH Device XML configuration files. You customize these files to suit your enterprise requirements:

• aix_connector_conf.xml—Defines configuration settings for an SSH device that is an AIX endpoint.
• checkpoint_connector_conf.xml—Defines configuration settings for an SSH device that uses a Check Point firewall.
• Cisco-UCS_connector_conf.xml—Defines configuration settings for an SSH device that is a Cisco UCS endpoint.
• device_connector_conf.xml—Defines configuration settings for a device, for example, a router.
• nis_connector_conf.xml—Defines configuration settings for an SSH device that works with a NIS server.

  Note: Use the local root account as the connected user. Do the following:

  1. Create a NIS endpoint (nis_endpoint_1) and define the root account using the default XML file. (ssh_connector_conf.xml)
  2. Create another NIS endpoint (nis_endpoint_2) and use the Advanced option to define the root account of the first NIS endpoint.
• netdevice_connector_conf.xml—Defines configuration settings for a network device that is a Cisco 2600 network device.
• ssh_connector_conf.xml—Use this file when you configure an SSH device that uses the passwd command to change account passwords.

  Note: Specify a local user, for example, root, as the connected user.

• sudo_connector_conf.xml—Use this file when you configure an SSH device that uses the sudo and passwd commands.
