Problems getting SSH to work on Openview 7.5 NNM

[oxigem]

Hi All

Need some assistance. I am trying to get Teraterm SSH to work with a windows version of Network Node Manager (v7.5 advanced edition).

I have edited the terminal file in the HPOV\C\Registration directory and have put the correct path to teraterm but whenever I right click on a node and select SSH it does nothing, it does not launch Teraterm SSH.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong , as when I cut and paste the command line to RUN on the Windows 2K server it launches Teraterm fine.

Has anyone succesfully managed to get SSH to work on a Windows Server Box with NNM v7.5 - if so please can you assist.

Thank you in advance

Just replace Teraterm in the config and it should work. I used the telnet to build this script. If you are trying to get the WEBGUI side let me know and I will send you that script also.

Hello,

I am working on a solaris box running NNM 7.51.. I have found that you script just launches SSH in the back ground.

Could you point me to where I am going wrong as I need SSH to configure some Cisco devices.

Try something like this in the "Command" line:

Command "/usr/dt/bin/dtterm -title "${OVwSelection1}" -e ssh ${OVwSelection1}&"; }

Note the "&" at the end of the command.

From Fognet's Field Guide to OpenView Network Node Manager (more info at www.fogbooks.com or www.ovforum.org/bookstore.cfm )...

Another approach is to call a script and pass it a scpecific username that differs from the default, which in the above ARF will be the user who opened the ovw session. Also, such a script could not require a selection name so a host can be provided if a node is not selected. In this case, simply remove the "MinSelected" requirement from the ARF. Such a script might look like this:

#!/bin/sh
stty erase `^H`
target=$1
if [ "$target" = "" ] then /usr/bin/echo "Enter host to
connect to: \c"
read target
echo ""
fi
/usr/bin/echo "Enter Username: \c"
read logon
/usr/bin/ssh $logon@$target
/usr/bin/echo ""

Is securecrt a freeware or Opensource SSH Client - I have tried to download it but it appears to be available as a 30 day trial.

Please advise.

Thanks

How about using Simon Tatham's "PuTTy", a free SSH client program for windows?
Get it from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
