Enabling SSH Authentication by Password Authenticate an SSH client by prompting for a password when attempting to connect to the Dell Networking system. This setup is the simplest method of authentication and uses SSH version 1. To enable SSH password authentication, use the following command. • Enable SSH password authentication. CONFIGURATION mode ip ssh password-authentication enable Example of Enabling SSH Password Authentication To view your SSH configuration, use the show ip ssh command from EXEC Privilege mode. Dell(conf)#ip ssh server enable Dell(conf)#ip ssh password-authentication enable Dell# show ip ssh SSH server : enabled. SSH server version : v1 and v2. SSH server vrf : default. SSH server ciphers : 3des-cbc,aes128-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,aes128- ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr. SSH server macs : hmac-md5,hmac-md5-96,hmac-sha1,hmac-sha1-96,hmac- sha2-256,hmac-sha2-256-96. SSH server kex algorithms : diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman- group1-sha1,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1. Password Authentication : enabled. Hostbased Authentication : disabled. RSA Authentication : disabled. Vty Encryption HMAC Remote IP Using RSA Authentication of SSH The following procedure authenticates an SSH client based on an RSA key using RSA authentication. This method uses SSH version 2. 1. On the SSH client (Unix machine), generate an RSA key, as shown in the following example. 2. Copy the public key id_rsa.pub to the Dell Networking system. 3. Disable password authentication if enabled. CONFIGURATION mode no ip ssh password-authentication enable 4. Bind the public keys to RSA authentication. EXEC Privilege mode ip ssh rsa-authentication enable 5. Bind the public keys to RSA authentication. EXEC Privilege mode ip ssh rsa-authentication my-authorized-keys flash://public_key Example of Generating RSA Keys admin@Unix_client#ssh-keygen -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair.
