HP 3PAR InForm OS 3.1.1 CLI Administrator's Manual

Benefits of Using SSH
SSH provides the following benefits:
• No InForm OS CLI installation. CLI clients are not required to access and use the CLI (assuming
SSH client is installed).
• No version matching. The InForm OS CLI and InForm OS versions do not need to match
because the CLI does not need to be installed remotely.
• Strong encryption. All information exchanged between client machines and systems are
encrypted.
• Data integrity. Integrity checking is executed to verify that data has not been altered during
transmission from sender to receiver.
• Server authentication. The system can be authenticated using the public key authentication
scheme. The system’s public key can be stored on client machines allowing the SSH client to
compare the key presented by the system to the key copied on the client machine.
CLI User Name Restrictions Using SSH
There are several CLI user names that are reserved for use by HP. Reserved names are as follows:
• root
• daemon
• bin
• console
• nobody
• sshd
• telnetd
• sys
• sync
• man
• proxy
• list
New Users
When creating a new user, specify a new user name that is different from those listed previously.
Existing Users
To delete a user, issue the removeuser command.
cli% removeuser pw1
User removed
In the previous example, a user with the reserved user name of pw1 is removed.
To create a new user, issue the createuser command.
cli% createuser ROOT1 all edit
In the previous example, new user ROOT1 is created.
