SSH Client: Users

Description

 

 

Page Settings

 

 

 

Username

Enter the name that the EDS uses to connect to the SSH

 

 

client user.

 

 

 

 

 

Password

Enter the password associated with the username.

 

 

 

 

 

Remote Command

Enter the command that can be executed remotely. Default

 

 

is <default login shell>, which tells the SSH server to

 

 

execute a remote shell upon connection. This command

 

 

can be changed to anything the remote host can perform.

 

 

 

 

 

Private Key

Enter the name of the existing private key you want to use

 

 

with this SSH client user. You can either enter the path

 

 

and name of the key, or use the Browse button to select

 

 

the key.

 

 

Public Key

Enter the path and name of the existing public key you

 

 

want to use with this SSH client user or use the Browse

 

 

button to select the key.

 

 

 

 

 

Key Type

Select the key type to be used. Choices are:

 

 

RSA = use this key with the SSH1 and SSH2 protocols.

 

 

DSA = use this key with the SSH2 protocol.

Username

Enter the name of the user associated with the new key.

 

 

(The user must already exist.)

 

 

 

 

 

Key Type

Select the key type to be used for the new key. Choices

 

 

are:

 

 

RSA = use this key with the SSH1 and SSH2 protocols.

 

 

DSA = use this key with the SSH2 protocol.

 

 

 

 

 

Bit Size

Select the bit length of the new key. Choices are:

 

 

512

 

 

 

768

 

 

 

1024

 

 

 

Using a larger Bit Size takes more time to generate the

 

 

key. Approximate times are:

 

 

10 seconds for a 512-bit RSA key

 

 

1 minute for a 768-bit RSA key

 

 

2 minutes for a 1024-bit RSA key

 

 

2 minutes for a 512-bit DSA key

 

 

10 minutes for a 768-bit DSA key

 

 

15 minutes for a 1024-bit DSA key

 

 

Some SSH clients require RSA host keys to be at least

 

 

1024 bits long.
