Access the Server Remotely
To access your DRAGEN Server from a remote location, you must set your firewall zone to public and allow root login from SSH connections.
CAUTION
Configuring remote access allows any device on the network to access your server and exposes your server to security risks.
Set Firewall Zone
By default, the firewall is enabled and blocks all incoming connections. To allow remote SSH connections, run the following script:
/usr/local/bin/mfg_enable_network.sh
This script accomplishes the following steps:
| • | Sets firewall zone to public. |
| • | Sets network interfaces to automatically start when the server is turned on. |
| • | Allows users to log in via SSH. |
| • | Reloads the SSHD configuration. |
| • | Restarts the network manager service. |
Allow Root Log in by SSH
To access the DRAGEN Server for NovaSeq 6000Dx remotely, you must enable root log in by SSH connections. By default, root log in attempts from SSH connections are blocked.
| 1. | Log in as root. |
| 2. | Open /etc/ssh/sshd_config. |
| 3. | Set PermitRootLogin to yes. |
| 4. | Restart sshd as follows. |
systemctl restart sshd
