1. To toggle password based SSH access for users to log in to the MSA:

   • Edit the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

   • Set the PasswordAuthentication option to “yes” or “no”

   • Restart the sshd service using the command: service sshd restart.

2. Additional SSH public keys can be manually appended to the file /root/.ssh/authorized_keys or added by using the script ssh-copy-id.

3. If the directory or the file does not already exist, either can be manually created using the following commands:

   mkdir /root/.ssh
echo “” >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 /root/.ash/authorized_keys
chmod 700 /root/.ssh/
