How does SSH public key authentication work?
The SSH key pair is used to authenticate the identity of a user or process that wants to access a remote system using the SSH protocol. The SSH client then decrypts the challenge message and responds back to the SSH server. The user or process must respond correctly to the challenge to be granted access.
How do I authenticate my ssh key?
The first step to configure SSH key authentication to your server is to generate an SSH key pair on your local computer. To do this, we can use a special utility called ssh-keygen , which is included with the standard OpenSSH suite of tools. By default, this will create a 3072 bit RSA key pair.
Is SSH public key associated with an user?
Provides information about the public Secure Shell (SSH) key that is associated with a user account for the specific file transfer protocol-enabled server (as identified by ServerId ). The information returned includes the date the key was imported, the public key contents, and the public key ID. A user can store more than one SSH public key associated with their user name on a specific server.
Does ITE support public key authentication with SSH?
ITE/ETE does support RSA Public Key Authentication in connection with SSH. However, generating an RSA Public Key is not automatic. It required a manual process to generate the key and then make it available to ITE on a given device. The first step involves creating a set of RSA keys for use in authentication.
