Generating Public Keys for Windows
Before adding an account, a public key is required from the system that will
access the CMC over SSH. There are two ways to generate the public/private
key pair: using PuTTY Key Generator application for clients running
Windows or ssh-keygen CLI for clients running Linux.
This section describes simple instructions to generate a public/private key
pair for both applications. For additional or advanced usage of these tools, see
the application Help.
To use the PuTTY Key Generator for Windows clients to create the basic key:
1
Start the application and select SSH-2 RSA or SSH-2 DSA for the type of
key to generate (SSH-1 is not supported).
2 Enter the number of bits for the key. The number should be between 768
and 4096.
NOTE: The CMC may not display a message if you add keys less than 768 or
greater than 4096, but when you try to log in, these keys it will fail.
3 Click Generate and move the mouse in the window as directed.
After the key is created, you can modify the key comment field.
You can also enter a passphrase to make the key secure. Ensure that you
save the private key.
4 You have two options for using the public key:
• save the public key to a file to upload later
• copy and paste the text from the
Public key for pasting… window
when adding the account using the text option
