Installing your public key onto the Controller/Radio/Touch hardware

#DROPBEAR SSH DEFAULT PASSWORD INSTALL#
Install your public key onto the Controller hardware.Generate your SSH public and private keys (if you've not already got some handy that you want to reuse).Getting public key authentication working on the remote involves two steps: The advantage here, though, is that the passphrase is chosen by you, and not the insecure '1234' default password. Depending on how you've configured your client you may need to put in your passphrase to unlock your key. Once you've enabled public key authentication you can log in using your own private key file. This authentication method is supported by the Dropbear SSH server that the Controller/Radio/Touch hardware runs. But even with a secure password, it is a hassle to enter passwords each time you log in to the device.Ī solution to this problem is to use /public key/ SSH authentication.
#DROPBEAR SSH DEFAULT PASSWORD PASSWORD#
This password is not very secure, and you should probably log in to the device and change it.

When SSH is enabled on the device, you can log in as user 'root', password '1234'. Sometimes you may wish to log in to SqueezeboxController, Squeezebox Touch, or Squeezebox Radio to access a command prompt or to copy applets and other files to the device (through scp).
