Logging into CMC using public key authentication

You can log in to the CMC over SSH without typing a password. You can also send a single RACADM command as a command line argument to the SSH application. The command line options behave similar to the remote RACADM, because the session ends after the command is completed.

Before logging in to CMC over SSH, make sure that the public keys are uploaded. To use this feature, you must have an Enterprise License.

For example:
  • Logging in: ssh service@<domain> or ssh service@< IP_address> , where IP_address is the CMC IP address.
  • Sending RACADM commands: ssh service@<domain> racadm getversion and ssh service@<domain> racadm getsel

When you log in using the service account, if a passphrase was set up when creating the public or private key pair, you may be prompted to enter that passphrase again. If the passphrase is used with the keys, client systems running Windows and Linux provide methods to automate the method. On client systems running Windows, you can use the Pageant application. It runs in the background and makes entering the passphrase transparent. For client systems running Linux, you can use the ssh agent. For setting up and using either of these applications, see their product documentation.
