PowerSC Patch Management replication feature should work with non-root users

The PowerSC Patch Management feature allows Primary-Secondary TNCPM topology- the primary server downloads TLs, SPs, ifixes etc and replicates them to the the secondary TNCPM server. For this, we need to configure password-less root SSH between primary and secondary TNCPM servers. This cause a security concern as anyone who has root access to the Primary server can login to Secondary server as well without knowing the root password. Many clients do not allow passowrd-less root SSH as per their corporate policy. To overcome this, the replication should also support password-less SSH for non-root account. It could be via sudo or any other similar means.
