Connection Component Parameters

This topic describes how to configure PSM connection components.

Windows Sessions (PSM-RDP)

The following parameters are specific to Windows RDP connection components. These are in addition to the general parameters that are common to all connection components. For general parameters, see Connection Component Configuration.

Unix/Linux or other SSH Sessions (PSM-SSH)

The following parameters are specific to Unix/SSH connection components. These are in addition to the general parameters that are common to all connection components. For general parameters, see Connection Component Configuration.

Telnet Sessions (PSM-Telnet)

The following parameters are specific to Telnet connection components. These are in addition to the general parameters that are common to all connection components. For general parameters, please see Connection Component Configuration.

Configure PSM-Telnet connection components

The AutoLogonSequence parameter defines a multiline sequence that is used by PSM during the automatic sign-on process for a Telnet connection to a remote device. It contains regular expression prompts and responses with dynamic values.

You can customize this parameter according to the logon process for each connection.

Use logon accounts for PSM-SSH and PSM-Telnet connection components

A logon account can be used to initiate sessions to machines that do not permit direct logon. This account can be used to log onto the remote machine and then elevate itself to the role of privileged user using credentials that are stored in the Vault.

The PSM uses a multiline sequence during the automatic sign-on process which contains regular expression prompts and responses with dynamic values that define the logon process and subsequent activities. As different types of machines require different logon prompts, you can override this sequence at platform level or create new connection components which you can customize.

 

For SSH connections, the logon account can use either password or SSH key authentication. If the logon account uses SSH key authentication, the associated privileged account must use password authentication.

WinSCP Sessions (PSM-WinSCP)

The following parameters are specific to WinSCP connection components. These are in addition to the general parameters that are common to all connection components. For general parameters, please see Connection Component Configuration.

Use WinSCP through a CLI

OS/390 (Z/OS) Sessions

The following parameters are specific to OS/390 (Z/OS) connection components. These are in addition to the general parameters that are common to all connection components. For general parameters, please see Connection Component Configuration.

AS400 (iSeries) Sessions

The following parameters are specific to AS400 (iSeries) connection components. These are in addition to the general parameters that are common to all connection components. For general parameters, see Connection Components.
