Setting up Key-Based Authentication
This section describes how to set up key-based authentication between the user account
configured to start Tomcat (HP-UX AAA Server Manager) on the local host and the
user account configured to start the RMI Server on the remote host.
Setting up key-based authentication involves creating a public-private key set with
ssh-keygen, generating public-private rsa key pair, and sharing the public key with
the user account configured to start the RMI Server on the remote host.
This section describes the following procedures:
• “Creating a Public-Private key set with ssh-keygen” (page 97)
• “Sharing the Public key with Remote Hosts” (page 98)
Creating a Public-Private key set with ssh-keygen
To create a public-private key set with ssh-keygen on the local host, complete the
following steps:
1. Log in using the name used to start Tomcat.
2. To create the ssh directory, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# mkdir ~/.ssh
3. Change the permissions of the directory as follows:
# chmod 700 ~/.ssh
4. Change to the ssh directory as follows:
# cd ~/.ssh
