Or, 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 then access specific hosts or serial
devices connected to that console server), that user must first be setup on the console server,
and must be authorized to access the specific ports/hosts (refer to Chapter 5). Only these
permitted services will be forwarded through 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 that was configured with those specific connected
hosts and serial port devices the user has authority to access, and a specific set of the enabled services
for each of these. You can upload this configuration automatically into the SDT Connector client:
Click on the new gateway icon and select Retrieve Hosts. This will:
configure access to network connected Hosts that the user is authorized to access
and set up (for each of these Hosts) the services (for example, HTTPS, IPMI2.0) and
the related IP ports being redirected.
configure access to the console server itself (this is shown as a Local Services host).
configure access with the enabled services for the serial port devices connected to
the console server.
