Presentation Server tssh commands

The TrueSight Presentation Server tssh commands provide the TrueSight Presentation Serverusers the options to set or change advanced settings from the command line interface. The tssh commands are also used as troubleshooting aids.

To run the tssh commands, you must have the required privileges on the computer where the TrueSight Presentation Server is installed. You must run these tssh commands from the installationDirectory\truesightpserver\bin folder. On a Linux environment, only a non-root user has the privileges to run most of the tssh commands. A root user can run only the following three commands:

tssh list
tssh help
tssh service (not available for a non-root user)

The following table describes the tssh commands that are available.

Command	Description	Usage
tssh certificate	Create, import, list, delete, and verify the certificates easily and quickly. You enter a few basic details, and the certificates are created and imported with minimal user intervention.	tssh certificate create Creates a private key pair and generates the certificate signing request (CSR). Prompts you to submit the CSR to the CA of your organization for signing. tssh certificate import <component name> Imports the specified component's certificates into the Presentation Server keystore or truststore. Example: tssh certificate import RSSO tssh certificate list -f { full path of the keystore or truststore file name } -a aliasname Lists the specified certificate details. Example tssh certificate list -f <TrueSight Presentation Server Installation Directory>\truesightpserver\conf\secure\loginvault.ks -a truesightserver tssh certificate delete -f { full path of the keystore or truststore file name } -a aliasname Deletes the specified certificate. Example: tssh certificate delete -f <TrueSight Presentation Server Installation Directory>\truesightpserver\conf\secure\loginvault.ks -a truesightserver tssh certificate verify <component name> Verifies if a secure connection can be established between the Presentation Server (operating as a client) and the specified component. tssh certificate verify TSIM For more information, see Creating and importing certificates in TrueSight Presentation Server.
