NAME
ssadm-login - authenticate SunScreen remote administration session

AVAILABILITY
SUNWicgSS

SYNOPSIS

ssadm -r remotehost [-F ticketfile] login username password

DESCRIPTION
ssadm login authenticates a user for administrative access to a Screen from a remote administration station.

ssadm login creates a session on the remote Screen and provides a ticket, which allows subsequent invocations of the ssadm command to access the remote Screen without using a password.

The ticket is written to standard output. If a ticketfile is specified using the -F option to ssadm or the SSADM_TICKET_FILE environment variable, then ssadm login automatically stores the ticket in the ticketfile in addition to writing it to standard output.

EXAMPLE
# SSADM_TICKET_FILE=$HOME/.ssadmticket
# export SSADM_TICKET_FILE
# touch $SSADM_TICKET_FILE
# chmod go= $SSADM_TICKET_FILE
# ssadm -r greatwall login admin password
WRITE access &lt;E23B344150C702EC&gt;
# ssadm -r greatwall activate Initial
Configuration activated successfully on greatwall.
# ssadm -r greatwall active
Active configuration: greatwall default Initial.3
Activated by admin on 03/09/1999 02:58:36 PM PST
# ssadm -r greatwall logout

The above example is for sh or ksh; other shells may require different commands.

ssadm login is only available with the -r remotehost option of ssadm.
