About this task

To connect to your AIX machine:

Procedure

  1. Right-click on the connection you wish to connect in the Remote Systems view. Select Connect.
  2. You will be prompted for a user name and password. If you don't have account on the machine or don't know, contact your AIX system administrator.
    • You will have the option to save your ID and/or password. Enable Save user ID if you wish to save your ID, and Save password if wish to save the password.
  3. Click OK. If your AIX system administrator has not set up the server to secure connections using SSL, you will be prompted whether you wish to continue anyway – answering No will cancel the connection.
