Use this command to set the allowed authentication methods when connecting to the SSH server.
| password | Specifies that entering a password is an allowed or disallowed SSH server authentication method when connecting to this device. Enabled by default. |
| pubkey | Specifies that the public key SSH server authentication method is an allowed or disallowed SSH server authentication method when connecting to this device. Disabled by default. |
Password is enabled, pubkey is disabled.
All command modes.
During an SSH handshake the SSH server will advertise to the client a list of allowed authentication methods. The client then attempts authorization using one of the allowed methods. If the first attempt fails, the client may try subsequent attempts using the other allowed methods until either a method succeeds and the user is allowed to connect or all methods are exhausted.
Both the password and public key authentication methods are supported. The password authentication method is enabled by default. To use either method, SSH must be enabled on the device.
To use the public key authentication method:
This example shows how to set the password authentication method to disabled and the public key authentication method to enabled on this SSH server:
System(rw)->set ssh server allowed-auth password disable pubkey enable
