VI. Configuring a client public key for a user
On the switch, you can configure a client public key (generated randomly on a client) for
a client user. This configuration is not required for password authentication type.
There are two methods to configure a client public key for a user.
1) Manual configuration
First, perform the following operations on a client:
z Use the SSH1.5/2.0 client software to randomly generate a RSA key pair.
z Use the SSHKEY.exe program to transform the public key in the RSA key pair to
PKCS (public-key cryptography standards) format.
Then, perform the following operations on the server:
