About Diagnostic Console Two-Factor Authentication

Diagnostic Console Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) allows you to control access to the appliance back-end. When you enable SSH access to the appliance and create a tether, the Quest Support team can log in to the back-end of the appliance using the appliance root password together with an access token. Tokens are provided in the Initial Setup Wizard. They can be viewed and regenerated using the Diagnostic Console Two-Factor Authentication page in the appliance System Console. Each token can only be used once and must be given to the Quest Support contact before they can log in to the appliance through the tether or the console.

To navigate to this page, log in to the appliance System Console. On the left navigation bar, under Settings, click Support, and on the Support page, under Troubleshooting Tools, click Diagnostic Console Two-Factor Authentication.

The security key and offline tokens that are provided with the appliance during the initial setup should be recorded and stored in secure location, not on the appliance machine. You may be required to provide this information to Support, when needed.

After upgrading from an earlier version, if a message appears indicating that Diagnostic Console Two-Factor Authentication is disabled, and you want to enable it for enhanced security, follow the instructions in the message to enable it.

Adding steps to task sections of scripts

Adding steps to task sections of scripts

You can add steps to scripts in the Scripting component.

The following tables detail the steps that can be added to the task sections of scripts. Task sections are available on the Script Detail page when you add a task. See Adding and editing scripts.

The column headings V, OS, R, ORS, and ORF indicate whether a particular step is available in the corresponding task sections: Verify, On Success, Remediation, On Remediation Success, and On Remediation Failure.

Steps for Windows devices

NOTE: For the syntax to use when specifying registry paths, see Specifying Windows registry paths.
