To use public key authentication with SDT Connector, first you must first create an RSA or DSA key pair (using ssh-keygen, PuTTYgen or a similar tool) and add the public part of your SSH key pair to the Console Server – as described in the earlier section.

Next, add the private part of your SSH key pair (this file is typically named id_rsa or id_dsa) to SDT Connector client. Click Edit -> Preferences -> Private Keys -> Add, locate the private key file and click OK. You do not have to add the public part of your SSH key pair, it is calculated using the private key.

SDT Connector will now use public key authentication when SSH connecting through the Console Server. You may have to restart SDT Connector to shut down any existing tunnels that were established using password authentication.

If you have a host behind the Console Server that you connect to by clicking the SSH button in SDT Connector, you can also configure it for public key authentication. Essentially, what you are using is SSH over SSH, and the two SSH connections are entirely separate, and the host configuration is entirely independent of SDT Connector and the Console Server. You must configure the SSH client that SDT Connector launches (e.g. Putty, OpenSSH) and the host's SSH server for public key authentication.

15.7 Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Support

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that's transferred over the SSL connection.

The Console Server includes OpenSSL. The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full- strength general purpose cryptography library. The project is managed by a worldwide community of volunteers that use the Internet to communicate, plan, and develop the OpenSSL toolkit and its related documentation.

OpenSSL is based on the excellent SSLeay library developed by Eric A. Young and Tim J. Hudson. The OpenSSL toolkit is licensed under an Apache-style license, which basically means that you are free to get and use it for commercial and non-commercial purposes, subject to some simple license conditions. In the Console Server, OpenSSL is used primarily in conjunction with ‘http’ in order to have secure browser access to the GUI management console across insecure networks.
