Is OpenSSH configured to allow access from HP SIM?
Use the
Configure

Configure or Repair Agents
tool to configure SSH on t
he
managed system. Check the box to configure SSH access.
This tool sets up the passwd file and host or user public key authentication for the user name
specified in this task. Continue with the following steps to verify its operation.

Is the
pass
wd
file correctly set up?
If you failed to log in using ssh in step 3, check the passwd file. Use Notepad to open the
passwd file in
C:
\
Program Files
\
OpenSSH
\
etc
and examine the contents. There
should be an entry for the user name from step 1, and this s
hould specify a valid home
directory (either the user’s real home directory if it exists, or hpsimssh). Note that domain
users have a domain name specified:
