Configuring SCC security settings
Optionally, choose one of these automatic sign-in options:
• Never—Disables the feature. You must separately log in to managed appliances.
• When logged in as administrator—You are automatically logged into those managed appliances where your current credentials match those of an administrator user account on the managed appliances.
• When logged in as the appliance registered user—You are automatically logged into those managed appliances where your current credentials match those of a user account on the managed appliances.
Optionally, specify the protocol and connection address type for connections to managed appliances:
• Always use HTTP—Connections to all managed appliances use this protocol.
• Always use HTTPS—Connections to all managed appliances use this protocol.
• Use HTTPS if enabled, otherwise HTTP—Connections use HTTPS for SSL-enabled managed appliances. For those that are not SSL-enabled, connections use HTTP.
• Use the Fully-Qualified Domain Name provided by the appliance—Connections use the FQDN of managed appliances, or the address registered on the SCC for the appliance when the FQDN isn’t available. The SCC resolves FQDNs to IP addresses.
• Use the IP address or hostname registered with the SCC—Connections use the IP addresses and hostnames that are registered on the SCC for the managed appliances.
Optionally, enable the use of a common set of credentials to log in to managed appliances and specify the username and password.
Optionally, enable strict key verification to prevent the SCC from inadvertently connecting with rogue appliances. If you select this option, the SCC doesn’t connect with appliances whose SSH public keys aren’t known by the SCC. The SCC requires you to enter the appliance SSH public key before allowing communication. Existing appliances with SSH public keys that aren’t trusted are disconnected when strict key verification is enabled.
