SSH Client: Users Page

If you click SSH Client: Users at the top of one of the SSH pages, the SSH Client: Users
page displays. Here you can change SSH client settings for users.

SSH client known hosts are used by all applications that play the role of an SSH client,
specifically tunneling in Connect mode. At the very least, a password or key pair must be
configured for a user. The keys for public key authentication can be created elsewhere
and uploaded to the device or automatically generated on the device. If uploading
existing keys, be sure the private key will not be compromised in transit. This implies the
data is uploaded over some kind of secure private network.

Note:

If you are providing a key by uploading a file, make sure that the key is not

password protected.
