SSH (Secure Shell)
SSH Host Key: This key signature, or fingerprint, helps to identify the NP when connecting through
SSH. SSH clients typically show the host key signature when they connect to a system for the first
time. The host key the SSH client shows can then be compared with the host key the NP displays
to verify that they are the same.
Click [Generate New Host Key] to generate a new host key that uniquely identifies the NP. After
doing this, SSH clients that have connected to the NP before will usually note or warn that the host
key has changed when they connect again.
