Setting up SSH properties

You can integrate BMC Release Process Management with Secure Shell (SSH) to dispatch the BMC Release Process Management processes through the SSH client target servers. With this integration, you can perform the deployments on remote target servers by using the existing SSH clients. You can use the set of default scripts available for this integration to trigger your deployment tasks.

Before you can start using SSH in BMC Release Process Management, you need to create and map the following properties to the source and target servers where SSH is installed:

• SSH_USER: User name for authentication
• SSH_PASSWORD: Password for authentication

• (Optional)  SS_CHANNEL_ROOT: File path on the target server

  Note

  Enter this value if you do not want to use the default path.

  The default value for SS_CHANNEL_ROOT is the following:

  • (Linux) '/tmp'
  • (Windows) 'C:/windows/temp'

After you create the SSH properties for the required servers that you want to use in a step, you need to specify the values for these properties.

For a source server:

For a target server:
