Yes you can, but it means you have to add your public key SSH key to your AppLogic console and always have to log in as root from your client.

Generating an SSH Key

If you are using Mac (OS X)  or Linux,  use ssh-keygen from the command line to generate an ssh-key.

You need the id_rsa.pub type key. 

If you are using Windows, there is a tool on the Putty download page called PuTTYgen which is an RSA and DSA key generation utility that you can use to generate the same file.

Using the same tool, you can generate a private key, which needs to be set up in Putty.

To do this, open session setup in Putty, go to the SSH branch and select Auth.

On the bottom, there is a browse button where you can point to private key file.

Adding your public key to the AppLogic console

Now you need to add the public ssh key in your AppLogic console.You do this by issuing the following commands in the console:

        user set <username@domain.com>  sshkey=”<entire ssh key>”

Once the key is installed, you log in as root from your chosen client.
