Changing the SSH server authentication mode
Use this procedure to change the SSH server authentication mode from the default of password-
authentication to keyboard-interactive.
About this task
If you enable keyboard-interactive authentication mode, the server uses that mode over other
authentication methods, except for public-key authentication, if the SSH client supports it.
If you enable keyboard-interactive authentication mode, the server generates the password prompts
to display to the client rather than the client generating the prompts automatically like with
password-authentication.
If you enable the ASG feature, you must change the SSH server to use keyboard-interactive
authentication mode.
Procedure
1. Enter Global Configuration mode:
enable
configure terminal
2. Enable keyboard-interactive authentication:
ssh keyboard-interactive-auth
