How to connect 3
You can establish the connection with the target system typing all the parameters to connect in one line AccountName__HostName__TargetAccount and using a ssh key.
- Account name: account to connect to Soffid.
- Host name: target system to which you want to connect.
- Target account: account to connect to the target system.
You can generate an ssh key to connect or use your existing ssh key.
- Generate a new ssh key:
ssh-keygen -t rsa - Read an existing ssh key:
cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub
Then you need to include it in Soffid Console in your user data.
Finally you can establish the connection.
pgarcia@soffid:~$ ssh -p 2222 pgarcia__10.129.120.5__patricia@ssh-gateway
