6. SSH Tunnels and SDT Connector 6.3 SDT Connector to Management Console SDT Connector can also be configured for browser access the gateway's Management Console - and for Telnet or SSH access to the gateway command line. For these connections to the gateway itself, you must configure SDT Connector to access the gateway (itself) by setting the Console server up as a host, and then configuring the appropriate services: • Launch SDT Connector on your PC. Assuming you have already set up the console server as a Gateway in your SDT Connector client (with username / password, etc.), select this newly added Gateway and click the Host icon to create a host. Alternately, select File: New Host • Enter 127.0.0.1 as the Host Address and provide details in Descriptive Name/Notes. Click OK. • Click the HTTP or HTTPS services icon to access the gateway's management console, and/or click SSH or Telnet to access the gateway command line console. Note: To enable SDT access to the gateway console, you must configure the console server to allow port forwarded network access. With firmware version 3.3 and later, this can be done using the console server management Console. Simply browse to the console server and select the Service Access tab on the System: Firewall menu. Ensure SSH Command Shell is enabled on the network interface and any out of band interfaces. With earlier firmware: • Browse to the console server and select Network Hosts from Serial & Network. Click Add Host. In the IP Address/DNS Name field, enter 127.0.0.1 (this is the console server's network loopback address) and enter Loopback in Description. • Remove all entries under Permitted Services, except those that will be used in accessing the management console (80/http or 443/ https) or the command line (22/ssh or 23/telnet). Then scroll to the bottom and click Apply. • By default, Administrators have gateway access privileges. For Users to access the gateway management console, you will need to provide those Users the required access privileges. Select Users & Groups from Serial & Network. Click Add User. Enter a Username, Description and Password/Confirm. Select 127.0.0.1 from Accessible Host(s) and click Apply. 113
