Mediant 8000, where it should be authorized.

33.18.8.1.1 Transferring and Authorizing the Public Key to the Mediant 8000
The RSA or DSA public key, generated in the previous step, must be transferred to
the Mediant 8000 and authorized for the specific CLI user. Authorization implies that
the SSH client that uses the private key will be granted credentials and access
permission of the specific CLI user.
To transfer the generated public key file to the Active SC board via SFTP/SCP/FTP,
use any standard-compliant SFTP/SCP/FTP client software. Connect to the Global IP
address and when prompted for a username/password, enter the CLI user credentials
(e.g. acladmin/pass_1234).
Note: In the secure operation mode, FTP access to the Mediant 8000 is disabled.
Use SFTP/SCP instead.
To authorize the use of the transferred public key for password-less SSH
authentication:
1. Connect to the CLI interface on the Active SC board. For more information, refer
to 'Command Line Interface' on page 107.
2. Login as the CLI user upon which the password-less SSH login will be
authorized. Alternatively you may also login as root user; however, you will later
be prompted to enter the CLI user name.
