CHAPTER 5: SERIAL PORT, HOST DEVICE AND USER CONFIG
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 (e.g. cascading)
may stop functioning until they are updated with the new set of keys. To generate keys:
Check RSA Keys, DSA Keys, or both.
Click Apply.
Once the new keys have been generated, Click here to return and the keys will automatically be uploaded to the master and connected
slaves.
5.6.2 MANUALLY GENERATE AND UPLOAD SSH KEYS
To manually upload the key public and private key pair to the Master console server:
Select System > Administration on the master’s Management Console.
Browse to the location 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.
Next, you must register the Public Key as an Authorized Key on the slave. In the simple case with only one master with multiple
slaves, you need only upload the one RSA or DSA public key for each slave.
NOTE: The use of key pairs can be confusing as in many cases one file (Public Key) fulfills two roles—Public Key and Authorized Key.
For a more detailed explanation see Authorized in Section 16.6. Also refer to this chapter if you need to use more than one set
of Authorized Keys in the slave.
Select System > Administration on the slave’s Management Console.
