SSH
SSH is a custom interface for opening a SSH session to a device.
This interface can be accessed through the "Devices" UI or via the SSH Console event tool.
This tool requires a device entry in the Device Catalog and as such honors multitenancy restrictions to only allow access for devices a user can see.
Best Practices
-
The default console style can be modified using the provided "SSH.css" file:
$A1BASEDIR/www/resources/monolith/css/SSH.css
-
There is a limit of 801 sessions that can be opened using this tool. If too many sessions have been opened, an error icon will be shown with the following:
No ports available
Run the following command on the presentation server(s) to display the sessions that have been opened:
ps -ef | grep shellinabox
If processes are not being cleaned up automatically, individual instances can be stopped with the following:
kill -9 (PROCESS ID FROM ps COMMAND)
