cmc auth ssh host-key {global-only | strict}

Prev Next

Controls the strictness of checking host keys when establishing a connection with another host using the CMC. On CMC connections made using SSH, global-only specifies that the global known hosts file is the only one used.

With the strict setting enabled, we will only allow a connection if we already have a known host entry that matches what the remote host sent us. Thus the administrator will have to either manually install a key, or temporarily disable strict mode to get the key installed automatically.
