4. Serial Port, Host, Device and User Configuration
4.6.1 Automatically Generate and Upload SSH keys
To set up public key authentication, you must first generate an RSA or DSA key pair and upload them into the Primary and
Secondary console servers. This can all be done automatically from the Primary unit:
• Select System: Administration on the Primary unit’s management console.
• Check Generate SSH keys automatically and click Apply.
Next, you must select whether to generate keys using RSA and/or DSA (if unsure, select only RSA). Generating each set of
keys will take approximately two minutes. During this time, the new keys will destroy any old keys that may previously been
uploaded. Also, relying on SSH keys (e.g., cascading) may stop functioning until they are updated with the new set of keys. To
generate keys:
• Select RSA Keys and/or DSA Keys.
• Click Apply.
• Once the new keys have been successfully generated, click on the link Click here to return. The keys will automatically be
uploaded to the Primary and connected Secondary units.
