Why are the Console Gateway SSH links connecting me to Lighthouse rather than the console?

Lighthouse presents these links in the format ssh://username:node_name:[e-mail]/ – it's then up to your web browser and SSH client to parse the link and start the connection.

Some applications interpret everything following the : delimiter as a password, and truncate it for security reasons. If this is the case, you may set an alternative Console Gateway Delimiter:

• Login to the Lighthouse web UI as an Lighthouse Administrator
• Click Settings -> Services -> Console Gateway
• Set Console Gateway Port Delimiter to an alternative character, for example: +
• Click Apply

Note: This settings also affects CLI access, so using the above example the SSH command to connect directly to a console port is:

ssh [e-mail]
