Ssh User Authentication Mode - D-Link DES-6500 - Switch User Manual

SSH User Authentication Mode

The following windows are used to configure parameters for users attempting to access the Switch through SSH. To access the
following window, click Security Management > Secure Shell > SSH User Authentication.
In the example screen above, the User Account "Darren" has been previously set using the User Accounts window in the Security
Management folder. A User Account MUST be set in order to set the parameters for the SSH user. To configure the parameters
for a SSH user, click on the hyperlinked User Name in the Current Accounts window, which will reveal the following window
to configure.
The user may set the following parameters:
Parameter Description
User Name Enter a User Name of no more than 15 characters to identify the SSH user. This User Name
must be a previously configured user account on the Switch.
Auth. Mode The administrator may choose one of the following to set the authorization for users attempting to
access the Switch.
Host Based – This parameter should be chosen if the administrator wishes to use a remote SSH
server for authentication purposes. Choosing this parameter requires the user to input the
following information to identify the SSH user.
Password – This parameter should be chosen if the administrator wishes to use an administrator-
defined password for authentication. Upon entry of this parameter, the Switch will prompt the
administrator for a password, and then to re-type the password for confirmation.
Public Key – This parameter should be chosen if the administrator wishes to use the publickey
on a SSH server for authentication.
Host Name Enter an alphanumeric string of no more than 32 characters to identify the remote SSH user.
This parameter is only used in conjunction with the Host Based choice in the Auth. Mode field.
Host IP Enter the corresponding IP address of the SSH user. This parameter is only used in conjunction
with the Host Based choice in the Auth. Mode field.
Click Apply to implement changes made.
NOTE: To set the SSH User Authentication parameters on the Switch, a User Account must
be previously configured. For more information on configuring local User Accounts on the
Switch, see the User Accounts section of this manual located in this section.
