Solved: SSH Connection Help

I am having a hard time connecting via SSH to the switch.

I have enabled SSH under TCP/IP services. I have also created a Management Access Profile enabling all protocols from all interfaces and all ip addresses.

When I connect using putty, I just type in the IP address of the Nikola, click SSH port 22, and click connect.

I get this error message:

Is anybody else able to connect via SSH? If so, can you help me configure mine to do the same?

I have not found the abilty to generate the required SSH crypto key from the GUI. You're probably getting the refusal because of this.

I went to the console and opened the Management settings and configured the SSH settings from there. You can generate a new key and enable SSH from the console menu and things should start working. ( They did for me )

It would be nice if the GUI would auto-generate this key for you when you enable SSH, or at least have a link where you can create it.
