Connecting to a Standalone Container from a Remote Container

Overview

Any container's command console can be used to access a remote container. Using SSH, the local container's console connects to the remote container and functions as a command console for the remote container.

Using the ssh:ssh console command

You connect to a remote container's console using the ssh:ssh console command.

Example 6. ssh:ssh Command Syntax

ssh:ssh {-l username} {-P password} {-p port} { hostname }


-l username

The username used to connect to the remote container. Use valid JAAS login credentials that have admin privileges (see Configuring JAAS Security).

-P password

The password used to connect to the remote container.

-p port

The SSH port used to access the desired container's remote console.

By default this value is 8101. See Configuring a standalone container for remote access for details on changing the port number.

hostname

The hostname of the machine that the remote container is running on. See Configuring a standalone container for remote access for details on changing the hostname.

[Warning]Warning

We recommend that you customize the username and password in the etc/users.properties file. See Configuring JAAS Securityfor details.

Example 7. Connecting to a Remote Console

karaf@root>ssh:ssh -l smx -P smx -p 8108 hostname

To confirm that you have connected to the correct container, type shell:info at the prompt. Information about the currently connected instance is returned, as shown in Example 8.
