How add a new user and allow sftp access to gateway 11 OVA

Products

• CA API Gateway

Issue/Introduction

Created a new user ‘sftpuser’ and tried to access the gateway using winSCP but we are getting an access denied error

 

Environment

Gateway 11.x

Cause

 

 

Resolution

The OVA allows the ssgconfig user access to ftp 

If you created a new user ‘sftpuser’ you would need to update the ssh_allowed_user file with that user accordingly.

# adduser ftpuser

#nano /etc/ssh/ssh_allowed_user file 

Example file:

sftpuser

ssgconfig

root
