NAME

secureadmin - commands for SecureAdmin(tm) configuration and control.

SYNOPSIS

secureadmin command argument ...

DESCRIPTION

SecureAdmin is a product option for DataONTAP(tm) 5.3 or later. Please contact Network Appliance to acquire a copy of SecureAdmin. SecureAdmin implements an SSH 1.0-compliant server. Administrator can use any client software that is compatible with the SSH 1.0 protocol to securely administer an appliance on which SecureAdmin is installed. The secureadmin commands configure, enable, disable, or display status of the SSH server.

USAGE

secureadmin setup [ -f ] ssh
configures SSH server to run for the first time. To properly configure SSH server, the administrator needs to specify the key strength for the host key and the server key. The keys are RSA keys. The allowable range for the key strength is 384-bit to 1024-bit. The key strength for the host and the server key must differ by at least 128-bit. After setup is done the SSH server is ready to be enabled. The -f flag forces setup to run even if SSH setup has already been performed.

secureadmin enable ssh
starts the SSH server now and at every boot. At this point, the SSH server is up and ready to accept connection from any client software that is compatible with the SSH 1.0 protocol.

secureadmin disable ssh
stops the SSH server now and at every boot.

secureadmin status
shows the current running status of SSH server.

secureadmin version
shows the current version of SecureAdmin running on the appliance.

NOTES

The secureadmin command usage may also mention the HTTPS and SSL protocol. You can disregard these protocols. They are not supported in the current release.
