6. SSH Tunnels and SDT Connector
• Optionally, enter a Descriptive Name to display, instead of the IP or DNS address, and any Notes or a Description of this
gateway (such as its firmware version, site location or anything special about its network configuration).
• Click OK and an icon for the new gateway will now appear in the SDT Connector home page.
Note: For an SDT Connector user to access a console server (and access specific hosts or serial devices connected to that console server),
that user must first be set up on the console server, and must be authorized to access the specific ports / hosts (refer to 5. Firewall,
Failover and OOB Access). Only these permitted services will be forwarded by SSH to the Host. All other services (TCP/UDP ports) will be
blocked.
6.2.3 Auto-Configure SDT Connector Client with the User’s Access Privileges
Each user on the console server has an access profile configured with access privileges to specific connected hosts and serial
port devices. This configuration can be auto-uploaded into the SDT Connector client:
• Click on the new gateway icon and select Retrieve Hosts. This will:
o Configure access to network-connected hosts the user is authorized to access and set up (for each of these Hosts), the
services (e.g. HTTPS, IPMI2.0) and the related IP ports being redirected.
o Configure access to the console server itself (this is displayed as a Local Services host).
o Configure access with the enabled services for the serial port devices connected to the console server.
Note: The Retrieve Hosts function auto-configures all user classes (i.e. they can be members of user or admin or some other group or no
group). The SDT Connector will not auto-configure the root; it is recommended the account only be used for initial configuration and for
adding an initial Administrator account to the console server.
