To install the Management Server, perform the following steps:
Run the following command as root:
# rpm --install ssh-mgmt-server-<v>-linux-x86.rpm
In the commands, <v> is the current release
version of the Management Server (for example 6.0.6.123).
The default installation root directory for the Management Server is
/opt/ssh-mgmt. If you want to install the Management Server to another
directory, use the following command instead:
# rpm --prefix=/<mypath> -ivh ssh-mgmt-server-<v>-linux-x86.rpm
In the command, <mypath> is the custom
installation root directory.
For a list of the directories created by the installation script, see Files Created during Installation.
To start the Management Server, run the following command:
# /etc/init.d/ssh-mgmt-server start
The Management Server starts running with root privileges but after starting
it drops the privileges and switches to run as the sshmgmt user.
Next, follow the instructions in Initial Configuration to configure the server. Note that the Management Server will start automatically when the server host is rebooted.
