Set Key File Ownership on the Remote Storage Server

You can set key file ownership and permissions on a remote storage server after you generate a key pair on the reporting server and copy the public key to that remote storage server.

To move the public key file to the correct location on the remote storage server and set file ownership

  1. Log into the remote storage server as caelmadmin.
  2. Switch users to root.
  3. Change directories to /opt/CA/LogManager/.ssh.
  4. Copy the authorized_keys file from the /tmp directory to the current directory .ssh:
    cp /tmp/authorized_keys .
    
  5. Change the ownership of the authorized_keys file with the command:
    chown caelmservice:caelmservice authorized_keys
    
  6. Change the permissions on the authorized_keys file:
    chmod 755 authorized_keys
    

    Non-interactive authentication is now configured between a CA Enterprise Log Manager reporting server and the remote host used for storage.
