DESCRIPTION:  Secure Shell Component for Windows, version 1.0

   This product implements the SSH (Secure Shell) protocol.  This
   is intended to be installed as an agent on Windows devices, to allow
   remote script execution from HP Systems Insight Manager.  If a 
   previous version is already installed, it should be removed before
   running this softpaq.  Note that once the install is completed, it
   must still be configured to allow access from HP Systems Insight
   Manager (CMS - central management server).  

   Instructions on setting up SSH for Windows:
	1. Open a Command Prompt window and navigate to the following directory:
             cd C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\etc 

             This command assumes OpenSSH was installed in the default location.

        2. Execute the following command to see which users are registered with OpenSSH: 
             type passwd 

           If the execute-as user for your CMS (root or administrator) is not listed, you need to add                them. Otherwise, you can skip to the next step of copying the SSH generated public key.

        3. Navigate to the bin directory:
             cd C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\bin 

        4. Add the user.
             For a domain account: mkpasswd -d -u login domain >> C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\etc\passwd 
               where login is the login name of the execute-as user and domain is the user domain.

             For a local account: mkpasswd -l -u login >> C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\etc\passwd 
               where login is the login name of the execute-as user.

        5. On the CMS, copy the SSH generated public key from the CMS to the managed system and place it             in the authorized keys file of the execute-as user (root or administrator).

        6. Launch the Manage SSH Keys dialog box from the CMS command prompt:
             mxagentconfig -g 

        7. Enter the managed system's Hostname.

        8. Enter root or administrator for the Username and the associated Password.

        9. Click [Connect].


   
                                              
HOW TO USE:

1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change
   to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is a self-extracting
   executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file
   and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack the files and
   install the product.

3. After the files have been created, you may delete the
   self-extracting file downloaded in step 1.
