SSH port sharing
SSH Passthrough sessions and/or Emerson Session Viewer sessions can be shared to allow other
users to view the session data. You can also enable hub/spoke forwarding to allow sessions
from multiple Rack Power Manager servers to be shared simultaneously. The first user to open
an SSH Passthrough or Avocent Session Viewer session has read/write access; all subsequent
users who share the session have read-only access. Users can enter a command to obtain
read/write access, but only one user at a time can possess read/write access.
To configure SSH Passthrough port sharing:
1. Click the System tab.
2. Click RPM Server in the top navigation bar.
3. Click SSH Passthrough in the side navigation bar. The SSH Passthrough Properties
window opens.
4. To enable shared SSH Passthrough sessions, select the Enable Port Sharing checkbox.
