Is your IT admin requiring you to use an SSH key with your ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú account to authenticate you to remote system resources? You can manage SSH keys for your account in your ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú User Portal.

Generating an SSH Key

Before you can add an SSH key in ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú, you need to generate a private-public SSH key pair on the computer you're going to use to log in to remote systems.

To generate an SSH Key Pair:

1. On Mac and Linux computers, open the Terminal.
2. Enter the following command: ssh-keygen -y -f /path_to_key_pair/key-pair-name.pem
3. Specify a file in which to save the key pair, or press return / ENTER to accept the default location.
4. Type in a passphrase or press return / ENTER to accept the default, no passphrase. We recommend that you use a passphrase.
5. If you entered a passphrase, confirm it when prompted.

After you confirm the passphrase, the system generates the key pair. The generated key pair is available in a file in the location you specified. If you accepted the default location, the key pair is available in the id_rsa file in the .ssh directory. The private key is saved to the computer and is used to verify the public key. The public key is saved to the id_rsa.pub file and needs to be added to ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú.

Adding the Public Key to ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú

After you generate the SSH Key pair, you need to add the public key to your ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú user account.
