d) Append the public key to the authorized_keys file. At the shell prompt, type:</span>
root@ns## cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
Note: If the
authorized_keys file does not exist on the appliance, you need to first create the file and
then append the contents.
e) Change the permission of the /flash, nsconfig, and ssh directories to 755.
root@ns## chmod 755 /flash
root@ns## chmod 755 /flash/nsconfig
root@ns## chmod 755 /flash/nsconfig/ssh
f) Change the permission of the authorized_keys file to 744.
root@ns## chmod 744 authorized_keys

root@ns## rm id_rsa.pub
7. On the client, verify that you can connect to the remote Citrix ADC appliance by using SSH, with-
out entering the password.
If using the default file name for the public-private key pair.
ssh <user_name>@<CitrixADCIPAddress>
If using “ns_comm_key” (when internal user is disabled) for the public-private key pair.
ssh ‒i /nsconfig/ssh/ns_comm_key <user_name>@<CitrixADCIPAddress>
If using any other name for the public-private key pair.
ssh ‒i <path_to_client_private_key> <user_name>@<CitrixADCIPAddress>
Change the administrative password
The default user account is the administrative account, which provides complete access to all features
of the Citrix ADC appliance. Therefore, to preserve security, the administrative accountshould be used
only when necessary, and only individuals whose duties require full access should know the password
for the administrative account. The default administrative username and password are nsroot and
nsroot, respectively. Citrix recommends changing the administrative password frequently.
