SSH server on PIX.

How to activate ssh server on the PIX?

I specified

ssh x.x.x.x 255.255.255.255 outside
username awkward password awkward
hostname fw
domain-name myip.com
ca gen rsa key 1024

but I can not enter the PIX via Putty, it tells "Access denied"

Where am I wrong?

"To gain access to the PIX Firewall console via SSH,
at the SSH client, enter the username as pix and
enter the Telnet password. You can set the Telnet
password with the passwd command; the default Telnet
password is cisco."

Hi Alex,

use the following syntax to enable AAA:

aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL


That's all!



PS: Don't forget a 'ca save all', but when you don't execute this
command, then you cannot connect to the pix after reboot.

Greetings!
