# Configuration example of ForceCommand for AIX

This is an example configuration of PingID SSH for ForceCommand on AIX.

## About this task

|   |                                                                                                                 |
| - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|   | This assumes that you specified `--prefix=/usr` in the configure command, or installed from the binary package. |

## Steps

1. Edit the sshd\_config file:

   `sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config`

2. Add these lines to the end of the file:

   ```
   #enable pingid for all users
   ForceCommand /usr/sbin/pingid_fc
   ```

   |   |                                                                                                                                                                          |
   | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
   |   | Disable `PermitTunnel` and `AllowTcpForwarding` in the `sshd_config` file because tunneling and port forwarding are performed before PingID authentication is triggered. |

3. Restart the sshd service:

   `sudo service sshd restart`
