Symptom

Lacking ability to configure SSH public key auth without using root shell

Conditions

Workaround

Use expert mode to access the root shell.

Further Problem Description

To meet Common Criteria (CC) requirements the FTD (including FTDv, 1k, 2k, 3k, 4200 and 4100/9300) must provide a way for an administrator configure SSH key-based authentication without needing to use expert mode to access the Linux root shell. The solution can be provided by adding configuration options to the FMC WebUI or to the FTD CLI, but cannot require FDM since FTD is always managed by FMC in CC certifications.
