For any Telnet or SSH session, administrative users can define user CLI credentials for other NetMRI user accounts. The location for configuring is Settings icon –> > User Admin –>  > edit User –> > CLI Credentials tab. Accounts that can modify CLI credentials for themselves and other users include SysAdmin, UserAdmin and ChangeEngineer High. Without User CLI credentials, other users can still log in to devices using their own device-specific credentials. This is particularly handy for devices that are not directly managed by NetMRI, such as Linux systems, but for which a user has a specific account. Some devices that are detected and/or managed by NetMRI may not provide the same level of Telnet or SSH as NetMRI. This is an advantage of the Telnet/SSH proxy.

To connect to specific devices, users must also have permissions to the corresponding device groups to which the devices belong. Authorized users can use any SSH client to gain proxy connection using their NetMRI credentials, without the need to acquire the credentials for individual devices. With valid privileges, users can use the Connect command to connect to the devices from any SSH client. For information about the command, see Using the Connect Command. The CLI proxy feature connects only through the management interface on the NetMRI appliance. This helps eliminate the need to gain access to the user's computer through various networks, VRFs, and VLANs. Note that all connections and commands issued to any network devices through the CLI proxy are audited and logged. For information about audit logs, see User Audit Logs.
