Solved: SSH username and password

itdsmartnet · ‎09-30-2008

i have configured ssh from outside on ASA. i have configured username abc with password xyz, when i ssh it remotely it doesnot accept abc with xyz password. when i use Pix as a username and enable password as a password , it is connected. how to change the default username Pix and password for ssh.

Thanks

If you want the ASA to use a local username/password you need to tell it to use aaa for authentication. You don't actually need an aaa server, you can tell it to use the local database ie. the username/password you have entered in the ASA config. See this link for config details -
