# Test the SSH connection

> Steps to verify and validate the SSH connection after configuration.

Perform the following steps to test the SSH connection:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Log in to the SSH client machine.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Open a terminal session.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Run the following command to test an SSH connection to the SSH server by using the private key stored on the CryptoHub through **FXPKCS11**. In the **-I** flag, specify the location of the **FXPKCS11** library.

    ```shell expandable lines wrap title="Shell" theme={null}
    ssh -I /usr/local/bin/fxpkcs11/libfxpkcs11.so user_name@SSH_Server_IP
    ```

    <Check>
      If successful, the SSH client is successfully logged in to a remote SSH session on the SSH server without needing to enter the password of the remote user it is connecting with.

      ```none expandable lines wrap title="None" theme={null}
      username@SSHServer_IP:~$
      ```
    </Check>
  </Step>
