Server Manager

SSHClosed The SSH (secure shell) protocol provides for secure connections between computers. It provides several options for authentication, including public key, and protects the communications with strong encryption. key management is performed by one or more Keyfactor Bash OrchestratorClosed The Bash Orchestrator, one of Keyfactor's suite of orchestrators, is used to discover and manage SSH keys across an enterprise.s controlling multiple targets. These are referred to collectively in the Management Portal as SSH servers. The SSH servers are collected together into one or more server groups. On the Server Manager page you first create one or more server groups to organize and set policies for your Linux SSH servers and then add an SSH server entry for each server you want to control with the orchestratorClosed Keyfactor orchestrators perform a variety of functions, including managing certificate stores and SSH key stores..

Scanning jobs are configured at the server group level. You can toggle between inventory only mode and inventory and publish policy mode at either the server group level or on an individual server basis, though if a server group is in inventory and publish policy mode (configured to Enforce Publish Policy), servers in this group cannot be in inventory only mode.

Scanning of targets cannot take place until they have been set up for control by the orchestrator (see Install Remote Control Targets in the Keyfactor Orchestrators Installation and Configuration Guide).

Tip:  If you plan to scan and manage your orchestrator machine(s) in addition to any targets, you will need to add SSH server entries for these as though they were targets.

Once the scanning has begun, you can look at the Logons tab to see discovered logons from the targets and associated SSH public keys.
