To Create a Node
A node represents a host on which the GlassFish Server software is
installed. A node must exist for every host on which GlassFish Server
instances reside. 


In the navigation tree, select the Nodes node.The Nodes page opens.
On the Nodes page, click New.The New Node page opens.
In the Name field, type your choice of name for the node.
From the Type drop-down list, select the type of the node to
create.
To create a node supports communication over secure shell (SSH), select SSH.
To create a node that does not support remote communication, select CONFIG.
In the Node Host field, type the name of the host that
the node represents.Whether this field is mandatory depends on the type of the node:
If the type of the node is CONFIG, the name of the host may be omitted. The name of the host can be determined when instances that reside on the node are created.


If the type of the node is SSH, the name of the host must be specified. Otherwise, an error occurs.



In the Node Directory field, type the path to the directory that
is to contain GlassFish Server instances that are created on the node.If the type of the node is CONFIG, leave this field empty. The
node directory can be determined when instances that reside on the node
are created.
If you type a relative path, the path is relative to the
as-install directory, where as-install is the base installation directory of the GlassFish
Server software on the host.
In the Installation Directory field, type the full path to the parent
of the base installation directory of the GlassFish Server software on the host,
for example, /export/glassfish3/.If the type of the node is CONFIG, leave this field empty.
The installation directory can be determined when instances that reside on the node
are created.
To force the node to be created  in the configuration of
the domain administration server (DAS) even if validation of the node's parameters
fails, enable the Force option.
In the SSH Port field, type the port to use for SSH
connections to this node's host.
In the SSH User Name field, type the name of the user
on this node's host that is to run the process for connecting
to the host through SSH.
Specify how the SSH user will be authenticated when logging in to
this node's host.
To specify authentication through an SSH private key file, perform these steps:
From the SSH User Authentication drop-down list, select Key File.
In the Key File field, type the absolute path to the SSH
private key file for user that the SSH User Name option specifies.

Note - GlassFish Server also supports password authentication through the AS_ADMIN_SSHPASSWORD entry in the
password file. The password file is specified in the --paswordfile option of the
asadmin(1M) utility.




To specify authentication through a password that is stored in the DAS
configuration, perform these steps:
Caution - This password is stored in clear text in the DAS configuration. For
enhanced security, use a key file or a password alias 




From the SSH User Authentication drop-down list, select Password.
In the SSH Password field, type the password that the SSH user
will use when logging in to this node's host. 
In the Confirm SSH Password field, type the password again.
To specify authentication through a password alias, perform these steps:
From the SSH User Authentication drop-down list, select Password Alias.
From the Password Alias drop-down list, select an existing alias.
Click Save.
