Configuring the Client
Public Key on the Server
n
This configuration is not necessary if the password authentication mode is
configured for SSH users.
With the publickey authentication mode configured for an SSH client, you must
configure the client’s RSA or DSA host public key(s) on the server for
authentication.
You can manually configure the public key or import it from a public key file. In the
former case, you can manually copy the client’s public key to the server. In the
latter case, the system automatically converts the format of the public key
generated by the client to complete the configuration on the server, but the
client’s public key should be transferred from the client to the server beforehand
through FTP/TFTP.
You can also use the following commands to configure the client’s RSA public key
on the server.
