Next, you must select whether to generate keys using RSA and/or DSA (if unsure, select only RSA).
Generating each set of keys will require approximately two minutes, and the new keys will destroy any
old keys of that type that may previously been uploaded.
Also, while the new generation is underway on the master, functions relying on SSH keys (for example,
cascading) may stop functioning until they are updated with the new set of keys.
To generate keys:
Select
RSA Keys
and/or
DSA Keys.
Click
Apply.
Once the new keys have been successfully generated,

and the keys will
automatically be uploaded to the Master and connected Slaves.

Or, if you have an RSA or DSA key pair, you can manually upload them to the Master and Slave
console
server
s.
Note
If you already have an RSA or DSA key pair that you do not want to use, you will need to create a
key pair using
ssh-keygen, PuTTYgen
or a similar tool as detailed in Chapter 15.6.
To manually upload the public and private key pair to the Master
console server
:
Select
System: Administration
on Master’s Management Console.
Browse to the location where you have stored RSA (or DSA) Public Key and upload it to
SSH RSA
(DSA) Public Key
.
Browse to the stored RSA (or DSA) Private Key and upload it to
SSH RSA (DSA) Private Key.
Click
Apply.
