Configuring the SSH
The SSH Configuration tool provides a convenient way to examine and manage the SSH configuration that would fit your needs. Changing the SSH configuration may be necessary for special needs, troubleshooting, or advanced non-standard scenarios. By default, the SSH is configured to deny any SSH communication with unknown remote servers. You can allow the authorized users with keys to communicate without passwords. Every time you add a remote host, the system obtains the SSH key for this host, and adds it to the known hosts.
Note: It is recommended to create a backup of the SSH settings/keys before you make any modifications.
