Introduction
There are various applications which will provide SSH and SFTP functionality. We recommend the use of PuTTY for SSH console connectivity to the PINsafe appliance. If you wish to transfer files to and from the appliance, please see the WinSCP How To Guide.
Connecting to the PINsafe appliance
When you run PuTTY, you are presented with the following screen, where you can manage stored sessions.
To connect to the PINsafe appliance enter the IP address of the PINsafe appliance into the Host Name field (the default out of the box IP address is 192.168.0.35).
Click the Open button at the bottom of the window, to initiate the SSH session. You may be prompted to add or update the security key.
You should then be presented with the following screen, where you are prompted to enter the username and password. The default username on modern PINsafe appliances is admin, whereas on older appliances it is root. Enter lockbox as the default password.
Once logged in successfully, you should be presented with the following screen, which is the CMI (on modern PINsafe appliances).
Next Steps
See the Getting Started Basic CMI configuration guide.
Troubleshooting
- Check that the IP address is the correct IP for the appliance;
- Check that internal firewall policies allow connection to port 22.
