Enable Connections Using SSH
Tenant administrators and business group managers can use a custom property to enable users to
connect remotely to their Linux machines using SSH.
Note If your fabric administrator creates a build profile that contains the required custom properties and
you include it in your blueprint, you do not need to individually add the required custom properties to the
blueprint.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a tenant administrator or business group manager.
n
Create at least one blueprint.
Important If you are using Amazon Web Services, RDP, or SSH must be enabled on the Amazon
machine instance and the machines must be in a security group in which the correct ports are open.
The SSH daemon must also be running on the target machine.
Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Blueprints > Blueprints.
2 Point to the blueprint to change and click Edit.
3 Click the Properties tab.
4 (Optional) Select one or more build profiles from the Build profiles menu.
Build profiles contain groups of custom properties. Fabric administrators can create build profiles.
5 Click New Property.
6 Type Machine.SSH in the Name text box.
You may also need to add the VirtualMachine.Admin.NameCompletion custom property.
7 Type true in the Value text box.
8 (Optional) Select the Encrypted check box to encrypt the custom property in the database.
9 (Optional) Select the Prompt user check box to require the user to provide a value when they
request a machine.
If you choose to prompt users for a value, any value you provide for the custom property is presented
to them as the default. If you do not provide a default, users cannot continue with the machine
request until they provide a value for the custom property.
