4.2. Configuring NX Server to Rely on NX Authentication

Important
Everytime a new account is created via NX Server or an already existing user accesses the
NX system for the first time, the user is added to the NX User DB.
4.4. Replacing the Default SSH Key-Pair with Keys Generated for Your Server
The initial login between client and server happens through a DSA key-pair. The public part is
provided during the installation of the server, while the private part is distributed together with the
NX Client. In order to replace the default keys used by clients, you need to generate a new DSA
key-pair and distribute the private part to those clients you want to get connected to the server.
