[E]   Exit menu

Enter configuration option: 19

Configure the SSH server as described in the following procedure.

Enter option 19 (SSH configuration) at the prompt. The SSH Configuration Option menu appears.

SSH Configuration
Service is defined in the SYSUAF.
Service is defined in the TCPIP$SERVICE database.
Service is enabled on specific node.
Service is started.

  SSH configuration options:
     1 - Enable service on all nodes
     2 - Disable service on this node

     3 - Stop service on this node
     4 - Disable & Stop service on this node
     [E] - Exit SSH configuration

Enter configuration option:

Choose the appropriate menu option. For example, choose option 1 to enable SSH on this server. The configuration procedure creates the SSH service entry and server configuration file:
Creating SSH Service Entry Creating TCPIP$SSH_DEVICE:[TCPIP$SSH.SSH]SSHD2_CONFIG.
Respond to the following question:
Create a new default Server host key? [YES] Creating private key file: TCPIP$SSH_DEVICE:[TCPIP$SSH.SSH2]HOSTKEY reating public key file: TCPIP$SSH_DEVICE:[TCPIP$SSH.SSH2]HOSTKEY.PUB
Type YES or press Enter to create new host key pair files, HOSTKEY and HOSTKEY.PUB. The TCPIP$CONFIG command procedure creates the default key pair in the directory TCPIP$SSH_DEVICE:[TCPIP$SSH.SSH2].
If you type NO to bypass creating new keys, your server may have no host keys (unless the host keys were created at an earlier time). You may need to run the key generation utility, SSH_KEYGEN, to generate keys before you can run SSH.
After the SSH server is configured, the following message and prompt are displayed if, for example, the SSH client is not enabled and has not been configured:
The SSH CLIENT is not enabled.
If you want to configure the SSH client, type YES.
