For password authentication type, the username argument must be consistent with the valid user name defined in AAA; for publickey authentication, the username argument is the SSH local user name, so that there is no need to configure a local user in AAA.

If the default authentication type for SSH users is password and local AAA authentication is adopted, you need not use the ssh user command to create an SSH user. Instead, you can use the local-usercommand to create a user name and its password and then set the service type of the user to SSH.

If the default authentication type for SSH users is password and remote authentication (RADIUS authentication, for example) is adopted, you need not use the ssh user command to create an SSH user, because it is created on the remote server. And the user can use its username and password configured on the remote server to access the network.

Both publickey and rsa indicate public key authentication. They are implemented with the same method.

Under the publickey authentication mode, the level of commands available to a logged-in SSH user can be configured using the user privilege level command on the server, and all the users with this authentication mode will enjoy this level.

Under the password authentication mode, the level of commands available to a logged-in SSH user is determined by AAA, and different users with this authentication mode may enjoy different levels.

Specifying a Service Type for an SSH User

Follow these steps to specify the service type of an SSH user:

To do…	Use the command…	Remarks
Enter system view	system-view	—
Specify a service type for an	ssh user username service-type	Required
SSH user	{ stelnet sftp all }	stelnet by default

If the ssh user service-typecommand is executed with a username that does not exist, the system will automatically create the SSH user. However, the user cannot log in unless you specify an authentication type for it.

Configuring SSH Management

The SSH server provides a number of management functions that prevent illegal operations such as malicious password guess, to further guarantee the security of SSH connections.

Follow these steps to configure SSH management:
