Figure 3.1. Page menus in the graphical user interface
The GUI is structured into a two-level menu system. The top-level menus group the functionality as follows:
Home
Submenu pages under the Home menu provide an overall summary of the managed environment. Statistics are provided for user keys, deployed SSH software, jobs, and alerts. The submenus also provide access to pages for common management actions, such as host deployment. A greater-than sign after a menu item denotes that it is a shortcut to elsewhere in the menu structure.
Hosts
The Hosts menu contains host-management functionality, such as adding hosts to the managed environment, and host-group management. Pages under the Hosts menu also provide information about the hosts in the managed environment. SSH Configurations provides functionality for reviewing, creating and deploying configurations for SSH Software (such as SSH servers and clients) in the managed environment.
Host management is detailed in Managing the Hosts in the Managed Environment, and SSH software management in SSH Software Configuration Management.
User keys
Key-management functionality is contained in the User keys menu. You may review and add keys/ authorizations via the pages under this menu. Users in the managed environment are displayed here. Access-request management is also performed here. M ore information about key management is provided in Managing the SSH Key Environment.
