2. Enter the following:
Imported Keys (SSH In)
Host & User Associated with Key
These entries are required in the following cases:
The imported key file does not contain the host that the user will be making an SSH
connection from, or
The SLC local user login for the connection is different from the user name the key was
generated from or is not included in the imported key file, or
The imported key file contains multiple keys; in this case, each key must include the user
name and host at the end of the line in the standard
<key> <user name>@<host>
format.
If either of these conditions is true, or the imported file is in SECSH format, you must specify the
user and host. The following is an example of a public key file that includes the user and host:
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAEEApUHCjmUGXa1YC3us
