create_ssh_command: A function to build an ssh command

In pocdata/oliveR: A package for extracting data from the oliver sms replica and creating measurements

Description

Create an ssh command string to access the oliver replica database on AWS via reverse tunnel to a linux box administered by POC. This command string can then be interactively pasted into a terminal to set a connection to the oliver replica on your localhost.

Usage

create_ssh_command(private_key_path = NA, target_port = 5431,
  local_port_for_forward = 5432,
  forward_target_host = "oliver-replica.criploulbgnu.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com",
  forward_target_port = 5432, reverse_tunnel_target_user = NA,
  reverse_tunnel_target = "52.90.57.218")

Arguments

private_key_path	A locally accesible path to your previously registered private key.
target_port	The target port number. Defaults to 5431.
local_port_for_forward	The local port to be forwarded. Defaults to 5432.
forward_target_host	The actual location of the oliver replica. Defaults to oliver-replica.criploulbgnu.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com.
forward_target_port	The targeted port on the target host. Defaults to 5432.
reverse_tunnel_target_user	A valid username on the reverse tunnel target.
reverse_tunnel_target	The name of the reverse tunnel target. Defaults to 52.90.57.218.

Details

The following dependencies are required in order to create a valid string:

• A public/private key pair with the public key shared to [e-mail] and residing on the reverse tunnel target.

• A valid username on the reverse tunnel target. Can be set by contacting [e-mail].

Access to the oliver replica requires two-factor authentication. Authy (https://www.authy.com/) is used for this purpose. Authy account information should be forwarded to [e-mail] prior to trying to establish a connection to the replica with the command string or access will be denied.

Value

None (invisible NULL).
