15.6.5 Generating public/private keys for SSH (Windows)

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 http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html) Make sure you have a recent version of WinSCP (available from http://winscp.net/eng/download.php )
