SSH Access to Lighthouse TCP Forwarding Select whether to Enable or Disable. When set to Enable, allows SSH clients to forward TCP traffic through the secure SSH tunnel. Used primarily for port forwarding and SSH "jump" connections. Does not interact with firewall forwarding rules. This is disabled by default.
SSH Password Authentication

Set this field to Enabled to allow using a password for SSH connections for all users, including the root user.

Notes: With Lighthouse version 24.06.0 and later, by default any AWS Lighthouse instance created has this setting disabled. This setting affects every user account.

  • If disabled, Lighthouse users must use a SSH key to authenticate SSH connections to Lighthouse. This can be set under > USERS & ACCOUNTS > Local Users and then configuring per user.

  • If enabled, then SSH Authentication will be authenticated via their password.
SSH Connection as Root User

Set this field to Enabled to allow the root user to SSH into Lighthouse.

Notes: With Lighthouse version 24.06.0 and later, by default any AWS Lighthouse instance created will have this setting disabled. This setting only affects the root user.
  • If disabled the root user will not be able to use SSH to connect to a Lighthouse Instance.
  • If enabled, the root user must still be enabled as well and is done by navigating to > USERS & ACCOUNTS > Local Users and select Enabled for the root user.
