MettleCI and its associated systems make use of SSH (a form of public key cryptography) to provide secure communications channels between software components running on different hosts. This page provides an outline of the MettleCI-related components which use SSH, and a high-level view of how those components should be configured.

Files relevant to MettleCI

The misconfiguration of SSH-related files on the DataStage Engine on which you have MettleCI Workbench installed can give rise to various symptoms, most of which are characterised by the failure of one system to form a trusted connection with another. This page describes the SSH components relevant to MettleCI, and how those components should be configured for successful operation.This page assumes you are running MettleCI Workbench on a Unix-based host under a user called mciworkb (link).
