DESCRIPTION
Use this command to enable and manage SSH public key authentication on a switch. SSH public key
authentication provides a mechanism for authenticating an authorized user without a password. SSH
public key authentication is more secure than password authentication and can be used to securely
access services that require automatic login.
SSH public key authentication works as follows: An authorized user generates a pair of encryption keys
(public and private) on a local machine (a switch or a server). Messages encrypted with the private key
can only be decrypted by the public key, and vice versa. The private key remains on the local machine;
the public key is exported to a remote host. The remote host responds to login requests by sending a
brief message encrypted with the public key. The private key on the local host decrypts the message,
and the login succeeds.
Use the sshUtil command to do the following:
•
Configure a user to perform public key authentication and to manage keys on a switch.
•
Generate a private/public key pair on the local switch.
•
Import a public key for a specified user from a remote host to the local switch.
•
Export the public key from the local switch to a remote host.
•
Delete the public keys associated with a specified user or all users on the local switch.
•
Delete the private key on the local switch.
NOTES
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
Outgoing public key authentication from the switch to a remote host is restricted to Fabric OS Commands
which use secure copy (SCP), such as
configDownload or configUpload .
This command supports generation of a public/private key pair on the switch to enable outgoing
connections between a switch and a remote host. To set up incoming connections, you must first
generate the public/private key pair on a remote host and then import the public key to the switch. Use
the SSH utility
ssh-keygen -t dsa to generate the keys on the remote host. Refer to your UNIX system
documentation for details on this command.
