Create SSH connections to VxWorks devices

To run an SSH server on the VxWorks device, you need to configure it, as described in the following sections.

Note: Enable the VxWorks plugin to use it.

Configure the VxWorks source build

Set the following keys in the VxWorks Source Build (VSB):

"USER_MANAGEMENT"
"USER_MANAGEMENT_USER_PRIVILEGES"

Configure the VxWorks kernel

Add the following includes to the VxWorks Kernel configuration (VIP):

"INCLUDE_IPSSH_CLIENT_CMD"
"INCLUDE_SHELL_SECURITY"
"INCLUDE_USER_DATABASE"
"INCLUDE_USER_IDENTIFICATION"
"INCLUDE_USER_PRIVILEGES"
"INCLUDE_USER_MGT_SHELL_CMD"
"INCLUDE_SEC_KEY_STORE_CMD"
"INCLUDE_SHELL"
"INCLUDE_SSH"
"INCLUDE_IPD_CMD"

Create a startup script

In the startup script, set up user management and starting the SSH server.

An example startup script:

cp "/romfs/ssh/keys/WindRiver.pk2","/ram"
cmd keyStore import default_rsa /romfs/ssh/keys/default_rsa.pem
cmd keyStore import default_dsa /romfs/ssh/keys/default_dsa.pem
cmd ipd start ipssh
udbReset
userAdd "WindRiver","vxTarget"

Test the connection

To test the connection from the terminal, specify the key algorithms for it (because VxWorks uses old keys):

ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -lWindRiver 192.168.0.3
