Connect to Server>Connect to OnSite

Clicking the “Connect to OnSite” radio button and clicking “Connect” brings

up a Java applet running a secure SSH session and logs the user into the

OnSite console, where the user has access to the OnSite’s command line.

An administrative user can use the CLI utility on the Linux command line.

While connected to the OnSite console through the Web Manager, the

administrative user cannot switch users to root. However, the administrative

user can run commands as root by entering the sudo command followed by

the command name.

The following figure shows the Java applet viewer running an SSH session. A

“Connected to” message in a gray area at the top of the screen shows the IP

address of the OnSite followed by the session type, “ssh.”
