See Section 16.6 for details on generating and installing public/private key pairs.
NOTE: You can use RSA or DSA. In this case, leave the passphrase field blank.
Upload the public part of your SSH key pair (typically named id_rsa.pub or id_dsa.pub) to the SSH gateway, or otherwise add to .ssh/
authorized keys in your home directory on the SSH gateway.
Add the private SSH key (typically named id_rsa or id_dsa) to SDT Connector.
Click Edit > Preferences.
Select Private Keys.
Click Add.
Navigate to and select the private key file.
Click OK.
You do not have to add the public SSH key: it is calculated using the private key.
SDT Connector will now use public key authentication when connecting through the SSH console server.
NOTE: You may have to restart SDT Connector to shut down existing SSH tunnels established using password authentication.
If you have a host behind the console server that you connect to by clicking the SSH button in SDT Connector, you may wish to
configure access to it for public key authentication as well.
This configuration is entirely independent of SDT Connector and the SSH console server. You must configure the SSH client that
SDT Connector launches (for example Putty or OpenSSH) and the host’s SSH server for public key authentication. Essentially, what
you are using is SSH over SSH, and the two SSH connections are entirely separate.
7.8 SETTING UP SDT FOR REMOTE DESKTOP ACCESS
Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) enables the system manager to:
Securely access and manages remote Windows computers
To reconfigure applications and user profiles on Windows computers
To upgrade a Windows server operating system.
Reboot the machine and more.
Secure Tunneling uses SSH tunneling, so this RDP traffic is securely transferred through an authenticated and encrypted tunnel.
SDT with RDP also allows remote Users to connect to Windows XP and later computers and to Windows 2000 Terminal Servers;
and to have access to all of the applications, files, and network resources (with full graphical interface just as though they were in
front of the computer screen at work).
To set up a secure Remote Desktop connection you must enable Remote Desktop on the target Windows computer that is to be
accessed and configure the RPD client software on the client PC.
7.8.1 ENABLE REMOTE DESKTOP ON THE TARGET WINDOWS COMPUTER TO BE ACCESSED
NOTE: Windows XP Professional and Windows Vista only support one Remote Desktop session and it connects directly to the
Windows root console. Windows Server 2003 supports three sessions: the console session and two other general sessions.
Windows Server 2008 supports multiple sessions.
To enable Remote Desktop on the Windows computer being accessed:
Navigate to Start Menu > Control Panel.
Double-click the System icon.
