Enable Root Login via SSH

By default, most operating system templates have root login via SSH disabled in accordance with best security practice.  If you wish to enable root login on your server it can be done as follows:

  1. Login to the Entity Data Client Area -> Services -> Select your Velocity SSD VPS
  2. Click "NoVNC Console" to access the console.
  3. Login with username root and the root password as chosen during the ordering process.
  4. Edit the sshd config file found at /etc/ssh/sshd_config (i.e. vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config)
  5. Add the following line to the file:
    PermitRootLogin yes
  6. Save and exit (i.e. :wq)
  7. Restart SSH (i.e. systemctl restart sshd) or restart the server.
