Setting remote access for a user

Remote access allows a user to log into another machine (where they have an identical account) without entering a password. This is also known as ``user equivalence''. When remote access is configured, the local system recognizes the equivalence between the two accounts.

This means remote access has two requirements:

• the same account must exist on the local and remote systems

• the account on the local system must have remote access configured (as described here)

In the Account Manager, select a user name, then select Users Remote Access. Click on the Remote Access button.

• To configure access, select an entry in the ``Other Hosts'' column and click on the Add button.

• To remove access, select an entry in the ``Current Hosts'' column and click on the Remove button.

• You can search for a specified host by entering the name in the ``Search for:'' field.
