I have never been able to SSH into my CtrlX Core Demo. I've tried using PowerShell on Windows with OpenSSH enabled. I've also tried putty. I have the standard boschrexroth user configured on the demo. I always fail with the password for some reason. Is there a setting or security issue I'm missing when trying to SSH? The SSH protocol status in the CtrlX web portal shows activated. Any ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi,
yes the standard-PW is not working. And in future the SSH connection gets closed soon.
I am going to contact you if you need further details.

Hi,
unfortunately this is not 100% correct Jens.
To enable SSH access, a user must be member of the group "sshuser". You can check this via the user's details tab, in this case: Users & Permissions -> Users -> boschrexroth -> Groups. If the box for sshuser is not checked, the user is not allowed to login via SSH.
By default, currently the following settings apply:
Unfortunately - most likely by design, due to security considerations - the SSH server does disclose as few details as possible about the reason why a connection attempt failed. Usually, it just states "Authentication failed".
In future releases, the default behaviour of the system might change in one aspect: SSH might be disabled by default. Nevertheless, as an administrator you always may decide to re-enable SSH via the sidebar entry.
One last remark: Although you are able to access the system via SSH, the boschrexroth user only provides limited access to the system. It does not provide superuser privileges.
Kind regards,
Michael

Hello,
For Rexroth application engineers, is there a super user login we are allowed to use to give us higher permissions with SSH?
Thanks,
Brian
