Accessing a NetScaler by Using SSH Keys and No Password

If you administer a large number of NetScaler appliances, storing and looking up passwords for logging on to individual appliances can be cumbersome. To avoid being prompted for passwords, you can set up secure shell access with public key encryption on each appliance.

NetScaler features can also use SSH key based authentication for internal communication when the nsinternal user is disabled (by using the set ns config - internaluserlogin disabled command). In such cases, the key name must be set as "ns_comm_key".

To set up access using SSH keys, you must generate the public-private key pair on a client and copy the public key to the remote NetScaler appliance.

To generate the keys and connect to a remote NetScaler by using SSH keys

1. On a client (Linux client or a NetScaler) change directory to /root/.ssh.

cd /root/.ssh

2.Generate the public-private key pair.

ssh-keygen-t <key_type> -f <optional_key_file_name> Example: To create an RSA key with default file name.

ssh-keygen -t rsa
