Caution:
If the ssh user service-type command is executed with a username that does not exist,
the system will automatically create the SSH user. However, the user cannot log in
unless you specify an authentication type for it.
1.3.7 Configuring the Public Key of a Client on the Server
 Note:
This configuration is not necessary if the password authentication mode is configured
for SSH users.
With the publickey authentication mode configured for an SSH client, you must
configure the client’s RSA or DSA host public key(s) on the server for authentication.
You can manually configure the public key or import it from a public key file. In the
former case, you can manually copy the client’s public key to the server. In the latter
case, the system automatically converts the format of the public key generated by the
client to complete the configuration on the server, but the client’s public key should be
transferred from the client to the server beforehand through FTP/TFTP.
