000011851 - How to enable SSH via the command line on on AM8.x

To enable SSH on the Authentication Manager via the command line you need to logon to the appliance console using a directly connected monitor and a  USB keyboard or VMWare Console.

Appliance login name:  rsaadmin    and Password created during Quick Setup   

$ sudo su - root

As root run the following

# chkconfig -f --add sshd
# /etc/init.d/sshd start
# iptables -A sshd -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

Reverse
# chkconfig -f -del sshd
# /etc/init.d/sshd stop
# iptable -D sshd -i eth 0 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

To check if the sshd service is running on the appliance, type the command below:

 netstat -atup | grep sshd
