Create the SSH User Account on the Remote Host of the Proxy Touchpoint

The proxy touchpoint configuration specifies the Remote User Name and Remote Password of the SSH user account used to access the remote host. The SSH user account must have administrator-level permissions required to run CA Process Automation Operators on the target computer. Consider defining the same user account for all similarly configured computers that are accessed as remote hosts. For example, add the account pamuser, with the same password, to each remote host.

When a proxy touchpoint initiates a connection to the remote host, it creates a temporary directory named c2otmp on the target computer. On a UNIX computer, this directory is created in the /home directory of the SSH user.
