Install OpenSSH on Drobo 5N












1














The DroboPorts site says that it is possible to install apps onto the Drobo 5N, but I understand the Drobo 5N only supports Copy and Plex right now and cannot install other apps.



Could someone please advise how I can get SSH installed on a Drobo 5N? Cannot find relevant instructions anywhere.

          Connect to your Drobo



          You can quickly connect to your Drobo:




          1. Look up the IP address of your Drobo device using Drobo Dashboard You can find the Network Information under the Status section of the
            dashboard for your device.

          2. open PuTTY

          3. enter the connection details root@<ip-address>

          4. when prompted use the password "root" to authenticate


          You should now be logged-in and the PuTTY window should look like
          this:



          enter image description here



          Change the default password



          It's good practice to change publicly known default passwords as soon
          as possible. Sure, it's unlikely that anyone will connect to your
          network, stumble across your Drobo, connect, and do Evil Things™ but
          why take the risk.



          It's also a good way to give an example of using the SSH session.



          Simply type passwd, press Enter and follow the prompts. You won't
          see any output when you're typing your new password; you don't know
          how many spycams have been installed while you were at work during the
          day.



          Saving an SSH session



          If you have configured your home router to assign a fixed IP address
          to your Drobo you might want to save the session in PuTTY so that you
          don't need to type the username and destination every time you want to
          reconnect.



          Open the menu by clicking on the icon in the top left of the PuTTY
          window, and choose New Session.




          1. enter the connection details as before ( root@<ip-address>)

          2. In the text input field for Saved Sessions enter a name to call the session ('MyDrobo')

          3. click 'Save'

          3. Root has access with the default password root (please please please change this ASAP!)

          4. The defined administrator user’s username is Admin, not admin.

              Install OpenSHH. This will allow you to log remotely into the
              Drobo unit. A few things to note:




              1. You will need to copy the openssh.tgz to the DroboApps share and then reboot, at which point OpenSHH will get installed and will start.

              2. Any users defined will by default have access via SSH to the Drobo

              3. Root has access with the default password root (please please please change this ASAP!)

              4. The defined administrator user’s username is Admin, not admin.
