Create an SSH login session if the intent is to log in to an EAS Linux (target) VM and execute Linux shell commands. The SSH login session in this example will be for the SF DEV WEB VM (San Francisco data center, DEVelopment environment, eas WEB server, Virtual Machine).
The appropriate IP addresses will be provided by an EAS administrator for any sessions that you need to create. Sensitive information has been redacted in the screenshots that follow.
1 Run PuTTY.
2 Under the Session category, enter the IP address of the target VM in the Host Name (or IP address) field, and specify port 2241 in the Port field. Also confirm that the connection type is "SSH".
3 Under the Auth category and in the Private key file for authentication: field, browse to the private key file (jd_eas_private_key.ppk) that was saved in Step 5 above.
4 The remainder of the configuration consists of default values, but if additional configuration is required, then "Chapter 4: Configuring PuTTY" should be consulted.
The following login session names should be used to maintain consistency with standard EAS nomenclature. The login session name for this example (eas-sf-dev-web) is highlighted in bold font in the table below.
| Environment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| DEV | QA | PROD | |
| San Francisco Data Center | eas-sf-dev-db | eas-sf-qa-db | eas-sf-prod-db |
| eas-sf-dev-geo | eas-sf-qa-geo | eas-sf-prod-geo | |
| eas-sf-dev-web | eas-sf-qa-web | eas-sf-prod-web | |
| Disaster Recovery Data Center | (eas-dr-dev-db) | (eas-dr-qa-db) | eas-dr-prod-db |
| (eas-dr-dev-geo) | (eas-dr-qa-geo) | eas-dr-prod-geo | |
| (eas-dr-dev-web) | (eas-dr-qa-web) | eas-dr-prod-web | |
For Database Administrators
Database administrators are likely to only be interested in the database machines, so in that case, they will only need to create a subset of all of the possible EAS SSH login sessions:
- eas-sf-dev-db
- eas-sf-qa-db
- eas-sf-prod-db
- (eas-dr-dev-db)
- (eas-dr-qa-db)
- eas-dr-prod-db
5 Return to the Session category to save this login session. Enter the login session name in the Saved Sessions field, and then press the "Save" button.
6 Before the saved login session can be tested, an EAS administrator must place your public key on the target VM. This should already have been done in Step 7 above.
7 To test the saved login session, select the saved login session from the Saved Sessions list, press the "Load" button, and then press the "Open" button.
8 You will be prompted to log in to the target VM. Use the username that was given to you by the EAS administrator, and when prompted a second time, enter the passphrase that was used to create your private key in Step 4 above.
9 Congratulations, you should now be logged in to the target VM!
