Topic - Allowing the end user to specify the password for SSH

If you want to create a session profile that allows the end user to specify the password for an SSH connection, but not the user id, you can do so by setting the User ID field to a valid user id and leaving the Password field blank in the SSH configuration window. To repeat,

• Set the User ID field to a valid user id.
• Leave the Password field blank.

When the end user starts the session, Host On-Demand displays a window showing the configured user id in a non-editable field and prompting for a password. The user must type the correct password.

If the end user specifies the wrong password, then Host On-Demand again displays the prompt window.

The image below shows the window that appears when the end user starts the session. The configured user id is user1. The end user has typed a password (user1pass, displayed as *********) into the input field of the prompt window.
