Connecting with the Charon-SSP Manager

To manage Charon-SSP and the emulated SPARC systems, you must connect to the Charon-SSP AWS instance with the Charon-SSP Manager. The Charon-SSP Manager is the main interface to all important functions of the Charon-SSP software.

Prerequisites:

  • The Charon-SSP Manager must be installed on your local system.
  • The Security Group on your local system must at least allow SSH access. This allows the built-in SSH tunneling of the Charon-SSP Manger to work. Should you not use SSH tunneling, you must open up additional ports (9091 for the Manager communication, any ports used for the emulated system serial console ports, and ports used for the graphical emulation). However, if the connection runs over the Internet, Stromasys recommends strongly to use SSH tunneling. Otherwise, your Charon-SSP cloud instance and any emulated systems running on it can easily be compromised.
  • The public key installed in .ssh/authorized_keys of the charon user of the Charon-SSP AWS instance must be copied to the local system. The Charon-SSP Manager needs this key to set up SSH tunneling.
  • Public IP address of the Charon-SSP AWS instance.

Copy the Public Key to the Local System

If not yet done, the public key of the key-pair associated with the Charon-SSP AWS instance must be copied to your local system.

To copy the Charon-SSP AWS public key to the local system, perform the following steps:

StepDetail / Command
Use SSH to login to your Charon-SSP instance from your local system.$ ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=30 -i <path-to-your-private key> charon@<AWS-public-IP-address>
On the Charon-SSP host: display the public key and copy the content.

$ cat ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Copy the content into the paste-buffer.

On your local system: paste the content into a file.$ echo "<content-of-paste-buffer>" >> <keyname>.pub

Start the Charon-SSP Manager

Start the Charon-SSP Manager using the following command:

$ /opt/charon-manager/ssp-manager/ssp-manager


This will open the login window of the Charon-SSP Manager.
