Content in the Server Automation site has been modified.

Reasons for Update:

New! Replacing the entire RXA module with a Remote connector for the SA module which uses SSH protocol by leveraging JSCH jar which is open source, provides the same functionality as the RXA module.

Note: The new SA Remote Connector module provides the same level of functionality as the existing RXA module. Going ahead, the RXA installation is not possible. So new users have to use RC and existing customers can use both in the same environment if needed. The existing RXA module is going to be removed in subsequent releases.
