Additional Automated Installer Enhancements for Advanced Configuration

Oracle Solaris 11.2 includes support for the configuration of multiple network interfaces using the Automated Installer. You can use a system configuration profile to configure multiple NICs on a client system that will be installed. You can use this facility in conjunction with zone creation to create a zone with multiple network interfaces.

For more information, see Configuring Multiple IPv4 Interfaces in Installing Oracle Solaris 11.2 Systems .

Another enhancement for Automated Installer allows passing pre-generated SSH public keys through an SMF profile using the user_account/ssh_public_keys group/property for population within the admin user's $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys.

For more information, see Configuring SSH Keys in Installing Oracle Solaris 11.2 Systems .

Support for provisioning Kerberos clients using the Automated Installer is available in Oracle Solaris 11.2. Kerberos enables strong network authentication, integrity, and privacy protection. You can create and assign Kerberos configuration profiles to AI clients, which enables an AI client installation with a fully provisioned Kerberos configuration capable of hosting secure services.
