SSH Key Access

Hi,   We are trying to enable SSH Public key Login to our F5. It appears the switch for "pubkeyauthentication" is set to no and we are not certain how to set it to yes without modifying the sshd ...

what about tmsh modify sshd include command?

e.g.

// before

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  grep -i pubkeyauthentication /config/ssh/sshd_config
PubkeyAuthentication yes

// configure

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  tmsh
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) modify sys sshd include "PubkeyAuthentication no"

root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list sys sshd
sys sshd {
    include "PubkeyAuthentication no"
}

// after

root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) q
[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  grep -i pubkeyauthentication /config/ssh/sshd_config
PubkeyAuthentication no
PubkeyAuthentication yes
