Remote Login to the Virtual Traffic Manager

To access the Virtual Traffic Manager virtual appliance or cloud instance command line, use SSH. Use the credentials of a user in the "admin" group, or any other group with "Appliance Console" permissions enabled. For more information, see Permission Groups.

Users who login with appropriate credentials have root access to the Virtual Traffic Manager instance, and the home directory is set to /root.

To configure password-less logins using SSH public/private key identification, use the SSH configuration directory on the Virtual Traffic Manager: /root/.ssh. To restrict SSH access to password-less logins, use the settings in System > Security > SSH Server in the Admin UI.
