rsa: Specifies the authentication type as RSA public key.
password-publickey: Specifies the authentication type as both password and RSA
public key. That is, the user can pass the authentication only if both the password and
RSA public key are correct.
Note:
For the password-publickey authentication type:
z SSH1.x client users can access the switch as long as they pass one of the two
authentications.
z SSH2.0 client users can access the switch only when they pass both the
authentications.
all: Specifies the authentication type as either password or RSA public key. That is, the
user can pass the authentication if either the password or RSA public key is correct.
Description
Use the ssh user authentication-type command to define on the server the available
authentication type for an SSH user.
Use the undo ssh user authentication-type command to restore the default setting.
Note:
This command defines available authentication type on the server. The actual
authentication type, however, is determined by the client.
By default, no authentication type is specified for new users, so they cannot access the
switch.
For new users, the server must specify authentication type for them through the ssh
user authentication-type command. Otherwise, they cannot access the switch. The
new authentication type configured takes effect at the next login.
Related command: display ssh user-information.
Example
# Set the authentication type for the kk user as password.
<3Com> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[3Com] ssh user kk authentication-type password
