About this task

Note: This process reduces security of the SSH connection, leaving the system vulnerable. Only do this function if it is necessary.

Procedure

  1. Click C Shell... on the Service Desktop manager.
    Note: The Shell window can only be launched when the EA3 user is included in the authorized EA3 group. Users not in this EA3 group will not have access to launch the Shell window. If you are not logged in as the proper logon user, log out and then log back on as the correct EA3 user with the authorized permissions.
  2. Log in as a root user. If you do not log in as a root user, the certificate will not be configured correctly.
    1. Type su - and press Enter.
    2. Type the root password and press Enter.
  3. Execute the following command:
    1. cp /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/ssh/sshd_config.lockedpass
    2. sed -i '/PasswordAuthentication/d' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
    3. echo 'PasswordAuthentication yes' >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
    4. systemctl restart sshd
  4. This will allow the user to log on with user name and password.
    Note: This has to be done after each LFC because the value is not save/restored.
