KEY GENERATE USERKEY
crypto key generate userkey
Overview This command generates public and private keys for an SSH user using either an
RSA or DSA cryptography algorithm. To use public key authentication, copy the
public key of the user onto the remote SSH server.
This command is not saved in the device configuration. However, the device saves
the keys generated by this command in the non-volatile memory.
Syntax
crypto key generate userkey <username> {dsa|rsa|rsa1}
[<768-32768>]
Mode Global Configuration
Examples To generate a 2048-bits RSA user key for SSH version 2 connections for the user
bob, use the commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# crypto key generate userkey bob rsa 2048
To generate a DSA user key for the user lapo, use the commands:
awplus# configure terminal
