Configuring Secure Shell (SSH) for AIX

If you are planning to install as a non-root user on AIX®, and use SSH to access your AIX server, you must perform extra configuration steps before you access the AIX server.

Tip: If you use rlogin or telnet to access your AIX server, you do not need to perform the following steps.
To ensure that the installation will work, perform the following steps:
  1. Open the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file on the AIX server where you want to install Network Manager.
  2. Ensure that the file contains the following line: 
    UseLogin yes
  3. Save and close the file.
  4. You can now use SSH to access the server and install Network Manager.
