RE: [nv-l] Updating Gui items on the map - still struggling

["Ray Westphal" <westphal2002@charter.net>]

Hello Vynita,

 

Here is how I handled the ID issues. I open an xterm window and present the user with a menu. Option #1 is to use their NetView ID, ${USER}. Option #2 is to let them enter the user ID.

 

I'm not much of a programmer. I'm sure you can improve on this.

 

Let me know what you think.

 

Have Fun!

hi all

 

Thanks to Ray and James for getting back to me, but I am having problems. I amended the NNM...rsam file and the menu has been update however nothing happens. looking at the rsam file it ssh is being passed the nodename i.e router1 so I am trying to execute ssh router1. What I need to run is ssh userid@router1 i.e. ssh vynita@router1.

 

I have a couple of issues 

   1) the map name is test

    2) my aix logon is ee12345

    3) the map is started using ee12345

 

So how do I pass these parameters on.

I tried the following but it did not work

 

    /* action to invok telnet aixterm  */
    Action 'sshremote' {
        MinSelected     1;
        MaxSelected     1;
        SelectionRule   ( isNode ) ;
        NameField       'IP Hostname', 'IP Address', 'Selection Name';
        Command         '${xterm:-/usr/bin/ovwRunXterm /usr/bin/X11/xterm} -T \"SSH (xter
m) to ${OVwSelection1}\" -name \"XNmterm\"  -xrm \"XNmterm*iconName: ${OVwSelection1}\" -
e /usr/bin/ssh ee12345@router1  >/dev/null 2>&1';
  

Thanks

Vynita

Vynita,

Search the archives for a recent article by Mark F Sklenarik. It has was entitled c_arf2srf. Mark actually provided the code necessary. If you are using NV security then it will require some more work.

 

Have fun!

Hi all

I am running Netview on AIX ver 7.1.2
At present the operators select a router off the map, right click, select administer, select telnet xterm and they can get into the router. However now due to security precautions telent has been switched off and they have to ssh to the router, and they want to do this from the map like they are used to. Can it be done? And how do I set it up?

Waiting in anticipation.

Thanks
