11: User Authentication

2. Enter the following:

Imported Keys (SSH In)

Host & User Associated with Key

These entries are required in the following cases:

-The imported key file does not contain the host that the user will be making an SSH connection from, or

-The SLC local user login for the connection is different from the user name the key was generated from or is not included in the imported key file, or

-The imported key file contains multiple keys; in this case, each key must include the user name and host at the end of the line in the standard <key> <user name>@<host> format.

If either of these conditions is true, or the imported file is in SECSH format, you must specify the user and host. The following is an example of a public key file that includes the user and host:

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAEEApUHCX9EWsHt+jmUGXa1YC3us ABYxIXUhSU1N+NU9HNaUADUFfd8LYz8/gUnUSH4Ksm8GRT7/8/Sn9jCVfGPh UQ== asallaway@winserver

Host
