Access a Citrix ADC appliance by using SSH keys and no password
If you administer many Citrix ADC appliances, storing and looking up passwords for logging on to
individual appliances can be cumbersome. To avoid being prompted for passwords, you can set up
secure shell access with public key encryption on each appliance.
Citrix ADC features can also use SSH key based authentication for internal communication when the
internal user is disabled (by using the set ns param -internaluserlogin disabled command). In such
cases, the key name must be set as ns_comm_key.
To set up access using SSH keys, you must generate the public-private key pair on a client and copy
the public key to the remote Citrix ADC appliance.
Generate the keys and connect to a remote Citrix ADC appliance by using SSH keys
1. On a client (Linux client or a Citrix ADC) change the directory to /root/.ssh.
cd /root/.ssh
2. Generate the public-private key pair.
ssh-keygen -t <key_type> -f <optional_key_file_name>
