Use Studio preferences to manage remote cluster connections and authentication methods.
Prerequisites
The administrator of the remote cluster must have provided the
necessary information about the cluster: host name, port number, authentication method,
and, if using RSA, the RSA user, password and keystore.
Task- To add a new remote cluster connection, select New Server URL in the Server View toolbar.
Note: In the Server View toolbar, you can also select Studio
Preferences and add a new connection through . Select New.
Studio displays the New Server screen.
- Enter the host name and port number, separated by a colon, to use when
connecting to the remote cluster. For example, myserver.mycompany.com:12345.
- (Optional) To enable encryption for Cluster Manager connections, select SSL.
- Select an authentication method: Kerberos, RSA, or User/Password.
- If you selected RSA, enter the following information:
- RSA User: – Provide the key alias.
- RSA Password: – Provide the keystore password.
- RSA Key store: – Provide the file name for the key store which contains the private
key.
- Click OK.
In the Run-Test perspective, the Server view accesses the list of stored
server connections. Depending on the authentication method, Studio attempts to connect
immediately (for RSA and Kerberos modes), or shows a login dialog for each cluster
configured for User/Password authentication.
Note: To connect all listed
servers, select Reconnect All in the Server View
toolbar.
