Configuring a client public key
This configuration task is only necessary for SSH users using publickey authentication.
To allow an SSH user to pass publickey authentication and log in to the server, you must configure the
client’s DSA or RSA host public key on the server, and configure the client to use the corresponding host
private key, so that the server uses the digital signature to authenticate the client.
You can manually configure the public key of an SSH client on the server, or import it from the public key
file:
•
Configure it manually
—
You can type or copy the public key to the SSH server. The public key must
have not been converted and be in the Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) encoding format.
•
Import it from the public key file
—
During the import process, the server will automatically convert
the public key in the public key file to a string in Public Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) format,
and save it locally. Before importing the public key, you must upload the public key file (in binary)
to the server through FTP or TFTP.
NOTE:
HP recommends you to configure a client public key by importing it from a public key file.
