Procedure 5 Installing and configuring SSH on a Linux system
1. Verify that SSH is installed on the managed system:
rpm -qa | grep ssh
If SSH is not installed, see your Linux provider for information about installing SSH.
2. On the CMS, copy the SSH-generated public key from the CMS to the managed system, and
place it in the authorized keys file of the execute-as user (root or administrator).
IMPORTANT: On a non-English CMS, ensure that an administrator account exists on the
CMS, and that mxagentconfig has run on the CMS for the created administrator account.

mxagentconfig -a -n hostname -u username -p Password
b. Click Connect.
