Specifying a user SSH key
A configurable SSH key may be used by a CCM appliance to authenticate a DSView software user
who is using an out of band client (for example, someone using a Putty SSH client that was not
started by DSView software). The user supplies the public/private SSH key when connecting to the
CCM appliance (only RSA keys with a maximum length of 1024 bits are allowed).The appliance
then verifies the public key against the one stored for the user in the DSView software.
As an alternative to using this method, the user may specify the SSH key in the profile settings, but
only if the administrator has enabled a global setting to allow it. See Specifying an SSH key on
page 22 for more information.

window will open.
