SSH Tectia

User Authentication with Passwords

The password and public-key authentication methods are set up by default on both the SSH Tectia Client and Server. Passwords are the easiest method for authenticating users as then no configuring is needed on the server side. The passwords are protected from eavesdroppers, since all communication is encrypted.

On Linux, password authentication uses the /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file, depending on how the passwords are set up.
