10.1 Passwords
The Linktropy Mini
2
and Mini-G include SSL and SSH functionality for convenience of
management. However, the system does not include a password, and is therefore not suitable for
use where secure administration is required.
10.2 SSL
The Linktropy GUI is accessible via HTTP or HTTPS. Linktropy includes a non-unique, self-signed
certificate. Use of this self-signed certificate may generate an error in the browser that the signing
certificate authority is unknown and not trusted. Either ignore this error or install your own
certificate.
To install a new certificate, use the “http” command from the CLI:
http load <certificate file name> <server address> ["tftp"]
For example:
linktropy> http load /certs/certificate.crt 192.168.0.100
By default, HTTP is used to download the firmware image. Specify “tftp” to use TFTP instead.
10.3 SSH
The Linktropy CLI is accessible over the network via SSH. To verify the identity of the Linktropy
SSH server, use the “
ssh fingerprint
” command to display the fingerprints of the SSH
server's public keys.
