How to create a SSH account using AXIS Vapix?

[mp9798]

Hi,

The most recent firmware from Axis created an SSH account where you need to modify or create an user from the website, the root user and the password don't work anymore for SSH. I need to create this SSH account or modify the password for many cameras. Is there other way to do it? Maybe using Vapix?

Hi @mp9798 ,
I don't think there is a new API available for this in the VAPIX documentation
vapix-library

Device used for testing:

AXIS P3268-LVE Dome Camera
AXIS OS version 11.9.60

Device webpage:

Using the inspect feature in the browser, I found the device webpage using the following API:

Postman:

But the strange part is that I am not able to see the SSH user on device webpage when using these APIs using Postman 😢

Trying to log in after updating SSH user password using APIs:

Conclusion:

Looks like we need to wait for new APIs from Axis.

HI @mp9798 ,
I have tested the latest APIs with AXIS Q1715 Block Camera (AXIS OS version 12.3.56):
