4. Set the username and password for each EMS host:
a. Click Security > Passwords on the navigation pane. The following page is displayed:
b. Configure a password for each EMS host defined in the configuration file. Click Help for
complete instructions.
5. If you configured EMS to use SSH, you must log in to each host server to verify and accept the
fingerprint. When the fingerprint is accepted, the host server’s key is stored in
/home/bill/.ssh/known_hosts on the VTS server and used to authenticate the key during
subsequent logins.
Be careful when accepting keys from remote hosts, to prevent security breaches. A key
mismatch can occur because the key has been changed on the host server or because a “man
in the middle” exploit is being attempted, which could be used to obtain login credentials. If
the key does not match, EMS will not log in.
Complete these steps to accept the fingerprint:
a. Log in to the VTS server as the vtsa user.
b. Change to the bill user:
su - bill
c. Log in to the host server using the bill account:
ssh bill@host_server
The following message is displayed:
The authenticity of host 'host (ip_address)' can't be
established.
DSA key fingerprint is <fingerprint>.
