Security SSH svms svm.uuid endpoint overview

Overview

This endpoint is used to retrieve or modify the SSH security configuration to an SVM.

The SSH security algorithms include key exchange algorithms, ciphers for payload encryption, MAC algorithms, and the maximum authentication retry attempts allowed before closing the connection. svm.uuid corresponds to the UUID of the SVM for which the SSH security setting is being retrieved or modified and it is obtained from the response body of a GET operation performed on the api/security/ssh/svms API.

Examples

Updating the SSH security parameters

Specify the algorithms in the body of the PATCH request.

# The API:
PATCH "/api/security/ssh/svms/{svm.uuid}"

# The call:
curl -X PATCH "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/security/ssh/svms/02c9e252-41be-11e9-81d5-00a0986138f7" -d '{ "ciphers": [ "aes256_ctr", "aes192_ctr" ], "key_exchange_algorithms": [ "diffie_hellman_group_exchange_sha256", "diffie_hellman_group14_sha1" ], "mac_algorithms": [ "hmac_sha2_512_etm", "umac_128_etm" ], "max_authentication_retry_count": 3 }'

Retrieving the SSH security configuration of an SVM

# The API:
