6. SSH Tunnels and SDT Connector 6.2.1 SDT Connector Client Installation The SDT Connector set up program (SDTConnector Setup-1.n.exe or sdtcon-1.n.tar.gz) is included on the CD supplied with your Tripp Lite console server product. Run the set-up program. Note: For Windows clients, the SDTConnectorSetup-1.n.exe application will install the SDT Connector 1.n.exe and the config file defaults. xml. If there is already a config file on the Windows PC, then it will not be overwritten. To remove the earlier config file, run the regedit command and search for "SDT Connector", then remove the directory with this name. For Linux and other UNIX clients, SDTConnector.tar.gz application will install the sdtcon-1.n.jar and the config file defaults.xml. Once the installer completes, you will have a working SDT Connector client installed on your machine and an icon on your desktop: Click the SDT Connector icon on your desktop to start the client. Note: SDT Connector is a Java application, so it must have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. It will install on Windows 2000 and later and on most Linux platforms. Solaris platforms are also supported. However, they must have Firefox installed. SDT Connector can run on any system with Java 1.4.2 and above installed, but it assumes the web browser is Firefox, and that xterm -e telnet opens a telnet window. 6.2.2 Configuring a New Gateway in the SDT Connector Client To create a secure SSH tunnel to a new console server: • Click the New Gateway icon or select the File: New Gateway menu option. • Enter the IP or DNS Address of the console server and the SSH port that will be used (typically 22). Note: If SDT Connector is connecting to a remote console server through the public Internet or routed network you will need to: • Determine the public IP address of the console server (or of the router / firewall that connects the console server to the Internet) as assigned by the ISP. One way to find the public IP address is to access / or / from a computer on the same network as the console server and note the reported IP address. • Set port forwarding for TCP port 22 through any firewall/NAT/router located between SDT Connector and the console server so it points to the console server. For port forwarding instructions for a range of routers, visit http://www.portforward.com. Also, you can use the Open Port Check tool at http://www.canyouseeme.org to check whether port forwarding through local firewall/NAT/router devices has been properly configured. • Enter the Username and Password of a user on the gateway that has been enabled to connect via SSH and/or create SSH port redirections. 106
