This section describes how to generate and configure SSH keys using Windows.
First create a new user from the Black Box Management (the following example uses a user called "testuser"), making sure it is a member of the
"users" group.
If you do not already have a public/private key pair you can generate them now using ssh-keygen, PuTTYgen or a similar tool:
PuTTYgen: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
OpenSSH: http://www.openssh.org/
OpenSSH (Windows): http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/download/
For example, using PuTTYgen, make sure you have a recent version of the puttygen.exe (available from
) Make sure you have a recent version of WinSCP (available from
)
To generate a SSH key using PuTTY
:
Execute the PUTTYGEN.EXE program.
Select the desired key type SSH2 DSA (you may use RSA or DSA) within the Parameters section.
It is important that you leave the passphrase field blank.
Click on the Generate button.
Follow the instruction to move the mouse over the blank area of the program in order to create random data used by PUTTYGEN to generate
secure keys. Key generation will occur once PUTTYGEN has collected sufficient random data.
Figure 15-3.
Create a new file " authorized_keys " (with notepad) and copy your public key data from the "Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys
file" section of the PuTTY Key Generator, and paste the key data to the "authorized_keys" file. Make sure there is only one line of text in this file.
