Connection Settings

This section contains the information that the source uses to connect to and authenticate with the Linux managed system. After you select Connection Settings the following page is displays.

  1. In the Unix Server Host field, enter the Hostname/IP address of the computer.

  2. In the SSH Port field, enter the configured SSH port. Default value: 22.

  3. In the Username field, enter the User ID of the machine conducting connector operations.

    If the specified User ID is not a root user, select the Sudo User checkbox.

  4. In the Password field, enter the associated password for the User ID.

  5. (Optional) In the Set Prompt field, enter the prompt that must be set up on the Linux system.

  6. (Optional) In the SSH Shell field, enter the Linux Shell on which operation must be performed.

    Note

    The default command for setting the shell prompt on the UNIX computer is:

    <entry key="SetPrompt" value="PS1='SAILPOINT>'"/>

    If the command for setting a shell prompt is different than the default command, change the value of the source attribute.

Note

  • The Linux source is enhanced to prevent shell injection attacks.

  • For the Linux source, if the wrong re-enter password is configured in the debug, a wrong password entry prompts an error message along with the end user's password on the UI and in the log files. Previously, these sources did not display passwords on the UI or in the log files.
