Accessing Kerio Control's Shell Using SSH

Overview

This article provides the steps required to access Kerio Control's shell using Secure Shell (SSH). This is helpful when you need to perform general troubleshooting, specifically on network issues in Kerio Control.
 

To access Kerio Control's server shell remotely, you need a client program, like PuTTY. If you are using Linux or Mac, you can open a secure shell tunnel using the Terminal app.
In the default traffic rules configuration, Kerio Control allows remote login only from the Trusted/Local network.

 

 

Process

  1. Log in to the Kerio Control administration interface.
  2. While holding the Shift button on your keyboard, navigate to Status > System Health.
  3. Enable SSH by clicking the Enable SSH button.

  5. When asked for the credentials, enter root for login as and your local administrator password for root's password.
