Hi Guys,

Is it possible to configure local user account for FMC for SSH access? How?

Hi,
You can create local account from FMC
 System > Users > Create User

Hi @Abheesh Kumar, but the method that you provided is only for the GUI access and not for SSH access. I tried it using my VM FMC.

Hi,
For system security reasons, Cisco strongly recommends that you not establish additional shell users on the Firepower Management Center. If you accept that risk, you can use external authentication to grant any user shell access to the Firepower Management Center. You cannot enable shell access for internal web interface users
