Use SSH with key authentication
Rather than using passwords, you can use SSH keys to authenticate users connecting via SSH, SFTP,
or SCP. SSH keys provide security and scalability:
n
Security
: Using SSH keys for authentication is more secure than using passwords. Unlike a
password that can be guessed by an unauthorized user, SSH key pairs provide more
sophisticated security. A public key configured on the LR54 device is paired with a private key
on the user's PC. The private key, once generated, remains on the user’s PC.
n
Scalability
: SSH keys can be used on more than one LR54 device.
Generating SSH key pairs
On a Microsoft Windows PC, you can generate SSH key pairs using a terminal emulator application,
such as
PuTTY
or
Tera Term
.
On a Linux host, an SSH key pair is usually created automatically in the user’s
.ssh
directory. The
private and public keys are named
id_rsa
and
id_rsa.pub
. If you need to generate an SSH key pair,
you can use the
ssh-keygen
application.
For example, the following entry generates an RSA key pair in the user's
.ssh
directory:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa
The private key file is named
id_rsa
and the public key file is named
id_rsa.pub
. (The
.pub
extension
is automatically appended to the name specified for the private key output file.)

If you want to access the LR54 device using SSH over a WAN interface, configure the access
control list for the SSH service to allow SSH access for the
External
firewall zone.
