To successfully launch an SSH session, an SSH client must provide two types of configurable information to an SSH server:

  • A user id. This user id must correspond to an actual user id (such as user1 or root) on the SSH server.
  • Some form of client authentication. That is, some evidence demonstrating that the SSH client is a valid client.

Z and I Emulator for Web supports two types of client authentication for SSH:

  • Password authentication
  • Public key authentication
