Setting remote access for a user
Remote access allows a user to log into another machine (where they have
an identical account) without entering a password. This is also known as
``user equivalence''.
When remote access is configured, the local system recognizes the
equivalence between the two accounts.
This means remote access has two requirements:
-
the same account must exist on the local and remote systems
-
the account on the local system must have remote access
configured (as described here)
NOTE:
Remote access does not create an account on the remote system -
you must do this yourself.
In the
Account Manager,
select a user name, then select
Users Remote Access.
Click on the Remote Access button.
-
To configure access, select an entry in the
``Other Hosts''
column and click on the Add button.
-
To remove access, select an entry
in the ``Current Hosts''
column and click on the Remove button.
-
You can search for a specified host by entering the name in the
``Search for:'' field.
NOTE:
To set up administrative remote access for system owners, see
``Using the SCOadmin Setup Wizard''.
