    There are two ways to do it:

    1. Connect to your VCSA via Connect-VIServer and enable SSH like this:

      $body = Initialize-AccessSshSetRequestBody -Enabled $true
Invoke-SetAccessSsh -AccessSshSetRequestBody $body

    2. Connect to your VCSA via Connect-CisServer and enable SSH like this:

      $CisService = Get-CisService -Name 'com.vmware.appliance.access.ssh'
$CisService.set($true)
