SSH Secure Shell Login

The SSH provides you with a secure shell access to your timeserver. The

connection is encrypted, so no readable passwords are transmitted over your network.

The actual LANTIME version supports SSH1 and SSH2 over IPv4 and IPv6. In order

to use this feature, you have to enable the SSHD subsystem and a security key has to

be generated on the timeserver by using the “Generate SSH key” button. Afterwards,

a SSH client can connect to the timeserver and opens a secure shell:

ssh root @ 192.168.16.111

The first time you connect to a SSH server with an unknown certificate, you have to

accept the certificate, afterwards you are prompted for your password (which is

configured in the first section of this page).

If you generate a new SSH key, you can copy and paste it into your SSH client

configuration afterwards in order to allow you to login without being prompted for a

password. We strongly recommend to use SSH for shell access, TELNET is a very

insecure protocol (transmitting passwords in plain text over your network).

If you enabled SSH, your LANTIME automatically is able to use secure file transfer

with SCP or SFTP protocol. The usage of FTP as a file transfer protocol is as insecure

as using TELNET for shell access.
