SSH

Overview

The IOLAN contains SSH Server software that you need to configure if the IOLAN is going to be accessed via SSH. If you specify more than one Authentication method and/or Cipher, the IOLAN will negotiate with the client and use the first authentication method and cipher that is compatible with both systems.

Functionality

When you are using the SSH connection protocol, keys need to be distributed to all users and the IOLAN. Below are a couple of example scenarios for key/certificate distribution.
