1.7.1 SSH connection authentication method available for JP1/AO
In JP1/AO, you can specify password authentication, public key authentication, or keyboard interactive authentication as an authentication method for SSH connections with operation target devices.
Password authentication
Password authentication is used for SSH connections with operation target devices. To set password authentication, you must specify the setting on the operation target devices to enable password authentication for the SSH server.
Public key authentication
A private key file is deployed in the JP1/AO server and public key files are deployed in operation target devices for SSH connections using public key authentication.
Keyboard interactive authentication
Keyboard interactive authentication is used for SSH connections with operation target devices. To set keyboard interactive authentication, you must specify the setting on the operation target devices to enable keyboard interactive authentication for the SSH server. Note that the keyboard interactive authentication available for JP1/AO supports only the password submethod.
