Usage
Information
If you enable this command, clients can log in without a password prompt. This
command provides two levels of authentication:
• rhost-authentication is done with the file specified in the
ip ssh rhostfile
command.
• checking client host-keys is done with the file specified in the
ip ssh pub-
key-file
command.
NOTE: Administrators must specify the two files (
rhosts
and
pub-key-file
)
to configure host-based authentication.
