3.4.1 Benefits of Using SSH
SSH provides the following benefits:
 No InForm CLI installation. CLI clients are not required to access and use the CLI (assuming
SSH client is installed).
 No version matching. The InForm CLI and InForm OS versions do not need to match because
the CLI does not need to be installed remotely.
 Strong encryption. All information exchanged between client machines and InServ systems
are encrypted.
 Data integrity. Integrity checking is executed to verify that data has not been altered
during transmission from sender to receiver.
 Server authentication. The InServ system can be authenticated using the public key
authentication scheme. The system’s public key can be stored on client machines allowing
the SSH client to compare the key presented by the InServ system to the key copied on the
client machine.
