If you have not already configured an administrative account on your node machine
for use with
IBM Aspera Console, see the following instructions:
IBM Aspera Console connects to a managed node through SSH for file
browsing and node configuration. You must update Console with the node's SSH credentials
before Console can access the node.
If Console automatically redirected you to the Admin Credentials page as
part of the process of adding a new managed
node, skip the first step.
-
Go to Nodes. Click the edit link
for the managed node, and click the Credentials
tab.
-
Select Edit Credentials.
-
If you want to configure the node from Console, enter the node machine's SSH
login credentials.
Enter the administrative account username and password to allow Console to
connect to the node machine. You can authenticate the account in one of two
ways:
- Password authentication: Enter the account
password.
- Public key authentication: Select Use
SSH Key and select your uploaded key. To use public key
authentication, you must have your SSH private key configured in Console.
For instructions, on how to configure SSH keys in Console, see SSH Keys.
-
Enter the node machine's Node API credentials.
-
Click Update.
-
Click Test Credentials to make sure Console has a
working connection to the node.
If successful, the message "Successfully connected to node via SSH and Node
API" appears in green at the top of the page.
A connection is established between Console and your managed node. To edit or remove
a node, go to Nodes for a list of managed nodes and click
edit or delete for the designated
node.
