continue?’

Enable Authentication Control on SSH Server
You can enable or disable Client Key Authentication on the Server using the Configure
button on the SSH pane. When authentication of Client Keys is disabled then access from
any host is allowed. After Factory Setup, SSH Client Key Authentication control on SSH
Server is disabled.
When SSH Client Key Authentication control is enabled, then access is allowed only to those
management hosts that were provisioned in the Server Authenticated Client Keys table.
NOTE: When the Authenticated SSH Client Keys table is empty, the Configure button is disabled. In
addition, you cannot delete the last entry from the table. This prevents users from enabling or having
an enabled SSH Client Key Authentication without any Authenticated SSH Client Keys that will lock
out SSH access.
To configure the authentication of SSH Client Keys
1. Click Configure. The Configure SSH Server dialog appears.
NOTE: For group operations, open the Configure SSH Server dialog box via the menu
bar: Group Operations, SSH, Configure.
2. To enable SSH Client Key Authentication, select the Enabled check box.
3. Click OK.
