Keys
On the upper right-hand of the SecurityCenter web interface, the System option contains a drop-down that includes a
Keys section. Keys allow the administrator to use key-based authentication with a remote SecurityCenter (remote
repository) or between a SecurityCenter and an LCE server. This also removes the need for the SecurityCenter
administrator to know the administrator login or password of the remote system.
The public key from the local SecurityCenter must be added to the “Keys” section of the SecurityCenter that
you wish to retrieve a repository from. If the keys are not added properly, the remote repository “add” process
will prompt for the root username and password of the remote host before the repository add/sync occurs.
Available options include “Download Key”, “Add”, and “Delete”. To download the local SecurityCenter’s key, click
“Download Key”. After doing this, the key format dialog is displayed. Choose the type of key being requested and then
click “Download”:
If “DSA Key” was chosen during download, the DSA public key is downloaded. Likewise, choosing “RSA Key” downloads
the RSA public key string.
