Configure Host Group Properties

You can configure properties of a host group within the Configuration tab. You establish connectivity between the agent and each remote host in the host group with third-party products.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click the Configuration tab.
  2. Expand the Domain.
  3. Expand the environment with the host group.
  4. Expand All Host Groups.
  5. Select the host group to configure, and then click the Properties tab.
  6. Set the properties of the selected host group.
    1. Set Operators Autorecovery and Touchpoint Security as required or accept the default, Inherit from Environment.
    2. For SSH Keys Path, indicate the target path that you created on the agent for storing the private ky file.

      If the agent host has a Windows operating system, enter:

      C:\PAM\SshKeys

      If the agent host has a UNIX or Linux operating system, enter:

      /home/PAM/Sshkeys

      Important! Create the target path on the agent host.

    3. For each remote host name pattern, click the Add Parameter button, and define a host name pattern.

      See How to Define Remote Host Name Patterns using Regular Expressions.

    4. Enter the credentials of the user account you did create or plan to create on each remote host referenced by this host group.

      Note: If you configure public key authentication, this value must be specified as the user-name in the command to generate key files. If using public key authentication with a passphrase, enter the passphrase for Remote Password.

    5. Complete the remaining intuitive fields.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Right-click the locked environment, and then select Unlock.

    Configuring properties is part of the total configuration. You must create a user account on each remote host with the credentials you configured here. This provides SSH access from the agent to each remote host in the host group. Establishing a trust relationship with public and private keys is optional.
