Administering Sidewinder G2 using Secure Shell
Configuring SSH when not using RSA/DSA authentication
If you are not using RSA/DSA authentication, follow the steps below to
configure SSH.
1 In the Admin Console, select Services Configuration > Servers.
2 Select sshd in the list of server names, and click the Configuration tab.
3 Ensure that the Allow RSA Authentication field is disabled.
4 Rather than using RSA/DSA authentication, each client will be required to
log in using their Sidewinder G2 user name and authentication information.
5 Click the Control tab.
6 Enable the SSH server in the desired burbs, then click the Save icon.
7 [Conditional] If a Host Key Pair does not exist, you will be prompted by the
Admin Console to confirm that the Admin Console will create an SSH host
key. Click Yes.
8 Configure and enable the authentication method you want to use to
authenticate SSH sessions. See Chapter 10 for information.
9 Create an SSHD rule that allows SSH clients to log into this Sidewinder G2
using SSH.
In the rule, select the following options: Service Type= server,
Service = sshd. You will also need to select the authentication method you
enabled in step 8. See “Creating proxy rules” on page 222 for information
on creating a proxy rule using the Admin Console.
Note: If the client has previously established an SSH connection to the
Sidewinder G2, the information associated with the previous connection must
be deleted from the client.
The Sidewinder G2 is now ready to accept SSH connection requests.
Remember that a client must have an administrator account on the Sidewinder
G2 in order to log in.
