Examples

• Create a ssh profile called 'ssh111' to connect to z/OS SSH server at host 'zos123' and default port 22:

  • zowe profiles create ssh-profile ssh111 --host sshhost --user ibmuser --password myp4ss Copy

• Create a ssh profile called 'ssh222' to connect to z/OS SSH server at host 'zos123' and port 13022:

  • zowe profiles create ssh-profile ssh222 --host sshhost --port 13022 --user ibmuser --password myp4ss Copy

• Create a ssh profile called 'ssh333' to connect to z/OS SSH server at host 'zos123' using a privatekey '/path/to/privatekey' and its decryption passphrase 'privateKeyPassphrase' for privatekey authentication:

  • zowe profiles create ssh-profile ssh333 --host sshhost --user ibmuser --privateKey /path/to/privatekey --keyPassphrase privateKeyPassphrase Copy

• Create a ssh profile called 'ssh444' to connect to z/OS SSH server on default port 22, without specifying username, host, or password, preventing those values from being stored on disk:

  • zowe profiles create ssh-profile ssh444 --privateKey /path/to/privatekey Copy
