b) Set the SSH host key fingerprint in aspera.conf. (Go to the next step to set the host key path instead).
# asconfigurator -x
"set_server_data;ssh_host_key_fingerprint,fingerprint"
This command creates a line similar to the following example of the <server> section of aspera.conf:
<ssh_host_key_fingerprint>7qdOwebGGeDeN7Wv+2dP3HmWfP3
</ssh_host_key_fingerprint>
Setting the host key path: To set the SSH host key path instead of the fingerprint, from which the fingerprint will
be extracted automatically, run the following command:
# asconfigurator -x "set_server_data;ssh_host_key_path,ssh_key_filepath"
This command creates a line similar to the following in the <server> section of aspera.conf:
<ssh_host_key_path>/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
</ssh_host_key_path>
