Virtual Appliance Security
CLI Access

The root user password is determined by the system administration during DPOD's Appliance Installation process.
The SSH service configuration comply with common security best practice and may be altered by the administrator.
Modification of the SSH service configuration is not recommended and should only be performed in special cases
