Script Execution Machine Requirements

  • If the script execution policy on the machine executing these operations is set to Restricted, then this will need to be updated to something less restrictive. See the PowerShell Documentation for more information.

KeySafe Configuration

When creating SIS jobs for operations contained within this package, they need to be run on the target machine as a user who has the correct privileges within your environment, and will require an additional KeySafe Key to hold the account credentials to connect to Rundeck.

To configure your Target Machine account authentication in KeySafe:

  • In the Admin console, navigate to: System > Security > KeySafe;
  • Click on + then select Username + Password;
  • Give the KeySafe Key a Title (this is the name/identifier for the target machine account as you will see it when creating an IT Automation Job, or adding an IT Automation node to a Business Process or Runbook);
  • Optionally add a description;
  • Populate the Username field with the domain/local account username for the account being used on the target machine;
  • Populate the Password field with the password for the above account;
  • Select Create Key to save.

To configure your API Key account authentication in KeySafe:

  • In the Admin console, navigate to: System > Security > KeySafe;
  • In the Type field, select API Key
  • Give the API Key a title (this is the name/identifier for the Dynatrace account as you will see it when using the Integration Call node in your business process);
  • Optionally add a description;
  • API Key - this should be populated with an Auth Token generated against a Rundeck account with permission to be able to perform the selected operations;
  • API Endpoint - this should be populated with the API Endpoint for your Rundeck instance. For example: https://yourrundeckserver:4440/api/32 where 4440 is the default port for Rundeck API calls, and 32 is the API version number;
  • Click Create Key to save

See screenshots to the right for examples.
