About SSH Access

Predix Edge Manager enables you to securely access Predix Edge devices using SSH.

You can use SSH to troubleshoot issues in a production Predix Edge device or instance. The device is not required to have Edge Manager connectivity as both online and offline access is supported.

You can get SSH access in one of two ways:
  • Online via Edge Manager:
    1. Use Edge Manager to obtain a signed SSH key.
    2. Use Edge Manager to activate the signed key.
  • Offline via Edge Manager and PETC:
    1. Use Edge Manager to obtain a signed SSH key.
    2. Use PETC to activate the signed key.
