  • ONTAP 9.16.X
  • SSH authentication configuration for admin users

Issue

  • Issues reported while configuring SSH public key authentication as a second authentication method for the admin user on ONTAP Cluster.
  • The setup process was interrupted when the SSH session was closed before the public key was created.
Cluster::*> security login modify -user-or-group-name admin -application ssh -authentication-method password -second-authentication-method publickey
Warning: Public key authentication is being setup for user "admin". This requires creating a public key for the user. After this command completes, use the "security login publickey create" command to create a public key for user "admin".
