Remote administration using Secure Shell<br />

2-22 Administrator’s Overview<br />

5. [Conditional] If the SSH server that you will be connecting to is another<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>, connect to that <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> using the Admin<br />

Console at this time.<br />

If needed, click the New Firewall button in the top portion <strong>of</strong> the Admin<br />

Console and add the other <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>(s) to the list <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sidewinder</strong><br />

<strong>G2</strong>s you can administer.<br />

6. If the SSH server that you will be connecting to is another <strong>Sidewinder</strong><br />

<strong>G2</strong>, click Export Client Key to export the public client key to the other<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>(s). Otherwise, use the best available method (FTP, cut<br />

and paste, etc.) to export the public client key to the SSH server.<br />

7. Select the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to export to, and click OK.<br />

Using the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> as an SSH client<br />

1. At a <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> command prompt, enter the following command<br />

to switch to the admn role:<br />

srole<br />

Note: If you are a read-only administrator, enter srole AdmnRO.<br />

2. Establish the connection with the SSH server by typing the following<br />

command.<br />

ssh -l login_name -o "RSAAuthentication yes" address<br />

where:<br />

login_name = the user name used when logging onto the SSH server<br />

address = the address <strong>of</strong> the host with which you are establishing an<br />

SSH connection<br />

See the ssh man page for more details.<br />

On the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>, the SSH client must be run from the Admn<br />

domain. Many SSH daemons, however, do not allow root users to<br />

connect to the SSH daemon. To get around this, be sure to use the -l<br />

option when logging in. This allows you to login as a different user.<br />

Configuring the SSH Admin Console windows<br />

SSH is configured from the Admin Console by selecting Services<br />

Configuration -> Servers. Select sshd from the list <strong>of</strong> servers. Select the<br />

appropriate check box(es) to enable the server for one or more burbs.<br />

To configure the SSH server, select the Configuration tab. The following<br />

window appears:
