The SSH (Secure Shell) service allows users to log in to the appliance CLI and perform most of the same administrative actions that can be performed in the BUI. The SSH service can also be used as a way to execute automated scripts from a remote host, such as for retrieving daily logs or Analytics statistics.
SSH keys can be configured for individual accounts using the preferences function described in Setting Appliance Preferences.
