SSH Keys

The SLC 8000 advanced console manager can import and export SSH keys to facilitate shared key authentication for all incoming and outgoing SSH connections. By using a public/private key pair, a user can access multiple hosts with a single passphrase, or, if a passphrase is not used, a user can access multiple hosts without entering a password. In either case, the authentication is protected against security attacks because both the public key and the private key are required to authenticate. For both imported and exported SSH keys, the SLC unit supports both RSA and DSA keys, and can import and export keys in OpenSSH and SECSH formats. Imported and exported keys are saved with the SLC console manager configuration, and the administrator has the option of retaining the SSH keys during a reset to factory defaults.

The SLC unit can also update the SSH RSA1, RSA and DSA host keys that the SSH server uses with site-specific host keys or reset them to the default values.

Imported Keys

Imported SSH keys must be associated with an SLC 8000 advanced console manager local user. The key can be generated on host "MyHost" for user "MyUser," and when the key is imported into the SLC unit, it must be associated with either "MyUser" (if "MyUser" is an existing SLC console manager local user) or an alternate SLC local user. The public key file can be imported via SCP or FTP; once imported, you can view or delete the public key. Any SSH connection into the SLC unit from the designated host/user combination uses the SSH key for authentication.
