and the FTP connection will be closed. The CPS appliance then stores the SSH key with the username in the CPS user database.
•When using the KEY keyword to specify the SSH key, the KEY parameter specifies the actual uuencoded SSH key. This is for configurations that do not implement an FTP server. The CPS appliance stores the specified key in the CPS user database.
The CPS appliance processes a uuencoded SSH2 public key file with the format described in the IETF document
To enable SSH session access to the CPS network appliance:
1.Issue a Show Server Security command to ensure that you are using an authentication method other than None.
SHOW SERVER SECURITY
2.Issue a Server SSH command with the Enable parameter. You may also specify an authentica- tion method.
SERVER SSH ENABLE AUTH=<auth>
If an authentication method is not specified, the previous authentication parameter will be used. The default value is AUTH=PW.
3.If you are enabling SSH for the first time, you are advised that all other CPS appliance sessions will be terminated. Enter Y to continue or N to cancel.
4.If you are reenabling SSH, you are prompted to use the existing SSH server key or generate a new key. Enter Y to use the existing key or N to generate a new key.
For more information, see Server SSH command on page 61.
To disable SSH session access to the CPS appliance:
Issue a Server SSH command with the Disable parameter.
SERVER SSH DISABLE
When SSH is disabled, the CPS appliance operates in plain text mode.
To display SSH information:
Issue a Show Server Security command.
SHOW SERVER SECURITY
If SSH is enabled, the display will include SSH2. Regardless of whether SSH is enabled, the display will indicate the authentication method that was specified with the Server SSH command.
