Remote administration using Secure Shell<br />

The <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> is now ready to accept SSH connection requests.<br />

Remember that a client must have an administrator account on the<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> in order to log in.<br />

Configuring SSH when using RSA authentication<br />

If you are using RSA authentication to configure SSH, follow the steps<br />

below.<br />

1. Connect to the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.<br />

2. Select Services Configuration -> Servers.<br />

3. Select sshd in the list <strong>of</strong> server names, and click the Configuration tab.<br />

4. Enable the Allow RSA Authentication field.<br />

5. If you do not currently have an SSH host key pair, click on Generate New<br />

Host Key. Click OK to acknowledge that the new key pair has been<br />

created.<br />

You must have at least one SSH host key pair for the SSH daemon to<br />

operate. If you have an existing key pair, you do not need to create a<br />

new one. The host key pairs are stored in the /etc/ssh directory and have<br />

the following filenames:<br />

ssh_host_key<br />

ssh_host_key.pub<br />

ssh_host_rsa_key<br />

ssh_host_rsa_key.pub<br />

ssh_host_dsa_key<br />

ssh_host_dsa_key.pub<br />

6. Click the Control tab.<br />

SSH version 1.5 rsa private key<br />

SSH version 1.5 rsa public key<br />

SSH version 2.0 rsa private key<br />

SSH version 2.0 rsa public key<br />

SSH version 2.0 dsa private key<br />

SSH version 2.0 dsa public key<br />

7. Enable the SSH server in the desired burbs, and then click the Save icon.<br />

8. From a command line prompt, create a subdirectory named /.ssh in<br />

each administrator’s home directory.<br />

Example: If an administrator named lloyd has a home directory named<br />

/home/lloyd, create the /.ssh subdirectory by typing the following<br />

commands:<br />
