PDC:__Include: Connecting with the Charon-SSP Manager

...

Prerequisites:

  • The Charon-SSP Manager must be installed on your local system.
  • For access via the public IP address of the Charon host instance:
    • The Network Security Group on your 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 any additionally required ports. However, if the connection runs over the Internet without a VPN, Stromasys recommends strongly to use SSH tunneling to protect your Charon-SSP cloud instance and any emulated systems running on it.
    • You must have the public IP address of the Charon-SSP cloud instance. To determine this address refer to the instance information displayed on the Oracle Cloud compute instance details.
    • To use the Charon Manager integrated SSH tunnel, you need the private SSH key of the key-pair associated with your instance.
  • For access via an SSH-based VPN:

(warning) Initial management password configuration: before connecting to the Charon-SSW cloud host with the Charon Manager for the first time after the initial installation you must change the default management password. This can either be done via the command line (see SSH Command-Line Access) or via the Charon Manager as described below.

  • Enable the SSH tunnel configuration (select ON).
  • Change to the SSH tab to fill in the required information there.

If the management password has already been set, perform the following steps:

  • Enter the public IP address or the private VPN IP address of your Charon-SSP instance.
  • Enter the Charon-SSP management password.
  • Enable the SSH tunnel configuration for communication across a public network unless you use a secure VPN connection.
  • If the SSH tunnel is enabled, change to the SSH tab to fill in the required information there.

If you use the integrated SSH tunnel, perform the following steps:

  • Enter the Charon-SSP user (charon or sshuser).
  • Enter the path to the private key file (click on the three dots to open a file browser),
  • In rare cases, you may need to add the path to the public key on the local system.
  • Enter the passphrase for the private key if required. 
  • Adjust the server port (default 22) if required.
