User certificates
Certificates may be changed only for internal authentication users. If the system certificate
policy is enabled for user certificates (see System certificate policy and trust store on page 52),
the user certificate used at login must meet the policy requirements.
As an alternative to using this method, the user may change the certificate in the profile
settings, but only if the administrator has enabled a global setting to allow it. See Specifying a
user certificate on page 41.
To change the certificate associated with a user:
1. Click the Users tab.
2. Click on a username. The User Name window will open.
3. Click Credentials in the side navigation bar and then click Certificate. The User Certificate
window will open. If a certificate has failed a test required in the system certificate policy,
the failure information is displayed.
4. Type the path and name of the certificate or browse to the certificate location.
5. Click Save and then click Close.
User SSH key
A configurable SSH key may be used by a serial console appliance to authenticate a DSView
software user who is using an out of band client (for example, someone using a PuTTY SSH
client that was not started by the DSView software). The user supplies the public/private SSH
key when connecting to the serial console appliance (only RSA keys with a maximum length
of 1024 bits are allowed).The appliance then verifies the public key against the one stored for
the user in the DSView software.
As an alternative to using this method, the user may specify the SSH key in the profile settings,
but only if the administrator has enabled a global setting to allow it. See Specifying an SSH
key on page 42.
To specify a user SSH key:
1. Click the Users tab.
2. Click on a username. The User Name window will open.
