Dell Hybrid Client version 2403 Administrator's Guide

PDF

Configure the SSH settings

Using the SSH protocol, you can connect securely to the Dell Hybrid Client from a remote device. You can use Wyse Management Suite to configure the SSH settings.

Prerequisites

As an administrator, you must install the optional SSH add-on to enable the SSH access. To install the SSH add-on on Dell Hybrid Client, do the following:

  1. Go to Support | Dell.
  2. In the Enter a Service Tag, Serial Number, Service Request, Model, or Keyword field, type the model number of your device or type Dell Hybrid Client.
  3. Click the product from the search results to open the product support page.
  4. On the product support page, click Drivers & downloads.
  5. Depending on the version of Dell Hybrid Client that you have installed on your device, select the Ubuntu operating system. For information about the version of the Ubuntu operating system that is supported in each Dell Hybrid Client release, see Supported operating system.
  6. From the list, locate the SSH add-on entry and click the download icon.
  7. After the add-on is downloaded successfully, use the application policy on Wyse Management Suite to deploy the add-on to Dell Hybrid Client. Ensure that you upload the downloaded add-on to the local repository on Wyse Management Suite. For more information about how to deploy an application policy, see the Wyse Management Suite Administrator's Guide at Support | Dell.
    NOTE:If you have configured the Dell Hybrid Client policy settings before the add-on installation, you must reapply the configured settings after you deploy the add-on. Alternatively, you can log off and log back in.

Steps

  1. Log in to Wyse Management Suite.
  2. Go to the Groups & Configs page, and select your preferred group.
  3. Click Edit Policies > Dell Hybrid Client 2.x.
    The Configuration Control | Dell Hybrid Client 2.x page is displayed.
  4. Click the Advanced tab.
  5. Expand Privacy & Security, and click SSH Server.
  6. Click the SSH Server toggle key to enable an SSH connection from a remote device. Use sshuser as username to establish an SSH connection.
  7. Enter a password for the SSH-enabled user.
  8. Optionally, you can grant elevated privileges to an SSH-enabled user on the device powered by Dell Hybrid Client. To enable the option, click the Allow elevated privileges to sshuser toggle key. If the option is not in use or not required, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the option disabled.
    NOTE:Use the option with caution as granting elevated privileges to an SSH-enabled user may lead to inappropriate use of access on the device.
  9. Click Save and Publish.

Next steps

  1. On a remote device, open the SSH client terminal application.
  2. Connect to your Dell Hybrid Client using the username sshuser. When prompted, enter the password for sshuser.
