Security Notes

This section provides information about supported connections and privilege requirements.

Supported Connections

Identity Manager uses the following connections to communicate with the shell script adapter:

• Telnet

• SSH (SSH must be installed independently on the resource.)

• SSHPubKey

For SSHPubKey connections, the private key must be specified on the Resource Parameters page. The key must include comment lines such as --- BEGIN PRIVATE KEY --- and --- END PRIVATE KEY --. The public key must be placed in the /.ssh/authorized_keys file on the server.

Required Administrative Privileges

The administrative account that the script runs under must be authorized for all operations defined in the scripts.
