  • 1.  How to enable ssh/putty into the SSG?

    Posted Aug 02, 2016 06:09 PM

    Hi,

    I was wondering how the SSG can be configured to allow ssh/putty into the machine?

     

    I've already modified the /etc/ssh/ssd_config to make "PermitRootLogins" set to "yes" and bounced the machine, but I am still getting "access denied" when I try to login, both with "root" and with "ssgconfig".

     

    Thanks,

    Jim

    FYI, I just found the answer, which was kind of alluded to in this page:

     

    Linux PAM configuration that allows or deny login via the sshd server

     

    So I had to edit the /etc/ssh/ssh_allowed_users file, and add the usernames that I wanted to allow to login in via ssh, one name per line.  Then, I did a "service sshd restart".

    The API Gateway is a security appliance. It is a huge no-no to allow remote root logins to such a device. I would advise against this.
