Configuring SSH

You must set up an ssh connection from one computer ( the host) to another (target) so that users can login from host to target without a password, and IRIS can send data from the host to the target.

  1. Login to the host computer as root.
  2. Check if .ssh directory exists.
    If not, then create the directory by typing:
    ssh-keygen -t dsa

    When prompted with questions, press ENTER without typing anything.

  3. Type: 
    ssh-copy-id -i id_rsa.pub radarop@remotehost
  4. When prompted for login, enter the readarop password.
  5. After a successful login, log out again.
  6. On the host computer, test the SSH connection as root with the command: 
    ssh radarop@remotehost date

    You should get the date and time display from the remote host without a password prompt.

You can now send data from the host computer to the target through the IRIS product output menu.
