Opengear ACM7000 User Manual

5 SSH TUNNELS & SDT CONNECTOR
Each Opengear console server has an embedded SSH server and uses SSH tunneling so remote users can
securely connect through the console server to managed devices - using text-based console tools (such
as SSH, Telnet, SoL) or graphical tools (like VNC, RDP, HTTPS, HTTP, X11, VMware, DRAC, iLO).
The managed devices being accessed can be located on the same local network as the console server or
they can be attached to the console server via a serial port. The remote user connects to the console
server thru an SSH tunnel via dial-up, wireless or ISDN modem; a broadband Internet connection; the
enterprise VPN network or the local network:
To set up the secure SSH tunnel from the Client PC to the console server, you must install and launch SSH
client software on the user’s PC. Opengear recommends you use the SDT Connector client software that
is supplied with the console server for this. SDT Connector is easy to install and auto-configure and it
provides all your users with point-and-click access to all the systems and devices in the secure network.
SDT Connector sets up a secure SSH tunnel from the client to the selected console server, establishes a
port forward connection to the target network connected host or serial connected device, and executes
the client application that is used in communicating with the host.
Topics in this chapter:
§ Configuring the console server for SSH tunneled access to network attached hosts and setting up
permitted Services and user access
§ Setting up the SDT Connector client with gateway, host, service and client application details and
making connections between the Client PC and hosts connected to the console server
§ Using SDT Connector to browser access the Management Console
§ Using SDT Connector to Telnet or SSH connect to devices that are serially attached to the console
server
§ Using SDT Connector for out of band access
§ Automatic importing and exporting of configurations
§ Configuring Public Key Authentication
§ Setting up an SDT Secure Tunnel for Remote Desktop
§ Setting up an SDT Secure Tunnel for VNC
§ Using SDT to IP connect to hosts that are serially attached to the console server
