A quick post on how to setup a public-key authentication on an SSH client server, product by SSH Tectia.<\/p>\n
Summary: User instruction on how to setup public-key authentication.<\/p>\n
In setting up the ssh public-key authentication between servers, local and remote, we have to generate the key pairs and transfer it to the remote\/server.<\/p>\n
Client Side<\/strong><\/p>\n The publickey authentication method is enabled by the SSHtectia package by default. A functional ID’s key pair can be generated using the ‘generate_keys’ script (may be located in \/export\/opt\/SSHtectia\/ \/etc\/opt\/SSHtectia\/keys\/ The script also creates an ‘identification’ file in \/etc\/opt\/SSHtectial\/keys\/ # more identification # OpenSSH private key Don’t forget to substitute the private key filename for ‘id_dsa_2048_a’ or ‘id_dsa’ if you are using a different naming convention. If several key pairs are used, list private keys on a separate lines.<\/p>\n Server Side<\/strong><\/p>\n The publickey authentication method is enabled for functional IDs ONLY by the SSHtectia package (how do we know if an account is such?). <\/p>\n Copy the public key file (i.e. id_dsa_2048_a.pub) to the server, to the centralized key location. You can use sftp, copy paste or any other method to do this.<\/p>\n Also copy the ‘authorization’ file (created by the ‘generate_keys’ script) from the cliet to the server’s centralized key location. <\/p>\n Test the connection.. it should work.. It worked on mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A quick post on how to setup a public-key authentication on an SSH client server, product by SSH Tectia.
