| 8 | +To provide an |SSH| connection to an Internet of Things (IoT) box, a password needs to be generated. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +.. warning:: |
| 11 | + This feature should **only** be utilized with trusted parties, as it provides administrative |
| 12 | + access to the |iot| box, which can create security issues. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | + Managing an |SSH| connection is **not** covered under the standard scope of Odoo support. Visit |
| 15 | + the `Odoo Support <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_ page for additional information about what is |
| 16 | + covered. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +First, navigate to the :menuselection:`IoT app --> IoT Boxes`. Click on the IP address of the |
| 19 | +appropriate |iot| box. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +.. note:: |
| 22 | + If the desired |iot| box does not appear, see :doc:`troubleshooting` for additional steps. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +At the bottom of the |iot| box pop-up window, click :guilabel:`Remote Debug`. This opens the |
| 25 | +:guilabel:`Remote Debugging` pop-up window. |

| 31 | +Click :guilabel:`Generate password`. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +.. warning:: |
| 34 | + After the password has been generated from the :guilabel:`Remote Debugging` pop-up window, the |
| 35 | + information **must** be recorded immediately. Once this window is closed, there is no current |
| 36 | + method for looking up this information. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Enter the :guilabel:`Authentication Token` provided by the user attempting to connect to the |iot| |
| 39 | +box. |
| 40 | + |
