11: Security Settings SSH Client User On this page you can change SSH client settings for users. To configure the EDS1100/2100 as an SSH client, an SSH client user must be both configured and also exist on the remote SSH server. SSH client known users are used by all applications that play the role of an SSH client, specifically tunneling in Connect Mode. At the very least, a password or key pair must be configured for a user. The keys for public key authentication can be created elsewhere and uploaded to the device or automatically generated on the device. If uploading existing keys, be sure the private key will not be compromised in transit. This implies the data is uploaded over some kind of secure private network. Note: If you are providing a key by uploading a file, make sure that the key is not password protected. To configure the SSH client users: 1. Click SSH on the menu bar and then SSH Client Users at the top of the page. The SSH Client: Users page appears. Figure 11-7 SSH Client: Users EDS1100/2100 User Guide 89

SSH Client User
On this page you can change SSH client settings for users.
To configure the EDS1100/2100 as an
SSH client, an SSH client user must be both configured and also exist on the remote SSH server.
SSH client known users are used by all applications that play the role of an SSH client, specifically
tunneling in Connect Mode. At the very least, a password or key pair must be configured for a
user. The keys for public key authentication can be created elsewhere and uploaded to the device
or automatically generated on the device. If uploading existing keys, be sure the private key will
not be compromised in transit. This implies the data is uploaded over some kind of secure private
network.
Note:
If you are providing a key by uploading a file, make sure that the key is not
password protected.
To configure the SSH client users:
1.
Click
SSH
on the menu bar and then
SSH Client Users
at the top of the page. The SSH
