Change User Password on the SSH Server

Changing the password on the SSH Client Server only affects the remote SSH server. To change the password on the SSH server, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Click Security > SSH Client > Change User Password on SSH Server.

Step 2

Enter the following fields:

  • Server Definition—Define the SSH server by selecting either By IP Address or By Name. Enter the server name or IP address of the server in the Server IP Address/Name field.

  • IP Version—If you selected to specify the SSH server by IP address, select whether that IP address is an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

  • IPv6 Address Type—If the SSH server IP address is an IPv6 address, select the IPv6 address type. The options are:

    • Link Local—The IPv6 address uniquely identifies hosts on a single network link. A link local address has a prefix of FE80, isn’t routable, and can be used for communication only on the local network. Only one link local address is supported. If a link local address exists on the interface, this entry replaces the address in the configuration.

    • Global—The IPv6 address is a global Unicast IPV6 type that is visible and reachable from other networks.

  • Link Local Interface—Select the link local interface from the list of interfaces.

  • Server IP Address/Name—Enter either the IP address of the SSH server or its name, depending on what was selected in Server Definition.

  • Username—This must match the username on the server.

  • Old Password—This must match the password on the server.

  • New Password—Enter the new password and confirm it in the Confirm Password field.

Step 3

Click Apply. The password on the SSH server is modified.
