To do… Use the command… Remarks
Create an
SSH user, and
specify the
service type
and
authenticatio
n mode
For Stelnet
users
ssh user username service-type stelnet authentication-type
{ password | { any | password-publickey | publickey }
assign publickey keyname }
Required
Use either
command.
For all users or
SFTP users
ssh user username service-type { all | sftp }
authentication-type { password | { any |
password-publickey | publickey } assign publickey
keyname work-directory directory-name }
NOTE:
• A user without an SSH account can still pass password authentication and log into the server throu
g
h
Stelnet or SFTP, as long as the user can pass AAA authentication and the service type is SSH.
• An SSH server supports up to 1024 SSH users.
• The service type of an SSH user can be Stelnet (Secure Telnet) or SFTP (Secure FTP). For information
about Stelnet, see “SSH2.0 overview.
” For information about SFTP, see “SFTP overview.”
• For successful login through SFTP, you must set the user service type to sftp or all.
• As SSH1 does not support service type sftp, if the client uses SSH1 to lo
g
into the server, you must set the
service type to stelnet or all on the server. Otherwise, the client will fail to log in.
• The working folder of an SFTP user is subject to the user authentication method. For a user using only
password authentication, the workin
g
folder is the AAA authorized one. For a user usin
g
only publicke
y
authentication or using both the publickey and password authentication methods, the workin
g
folder is
the one set by using the ssh user command.
• The configured authentication method takes effect only for users logging in after the configuration.
NOTE:
For users using publickey authentication:
• You must configure on the device (switch or router) the corresponding username and public keys.
• After login, the commands available for a user are determined by the user privilege level, which is
configured with the user privilege level command on the user interface.
For users using password authentication:
• You can configure the accounting information either on the device (switch or router) or on the remote
authentication server (such as RADIUS authentication server).
• After login, the commands available to a user are determined by AAA authorization.
Setting the SSH management parameters
SSH management includes:
• Enabling the SSH server to be compatible with SSH1 client
• Setting the server key pair update interval, applicable to users using SSH1 client
• Setting the SSH user authentication timeout period
• Setting the maximum number of SSH authentication attempts
Setting the above parameters can help avoid malicious guess at and cracking of the keys and usernames,
securing your SSH connections.
Follow these steps to set the SSH management parameters:
