14: User Authentication
EMG™ Edge Management Gateway User Guide 324
The EMG local user login for the connection is different from the user name the key was
generated from or is not included in the imported key file, or
The imported key file contains multiple keys; in this case, each key must include the user
name and host at the end of the line in the standard <key> <user name>@<host> format.
If any of these conditions are true, or the imported file is in SECSH format, then you must specify
the user and host.
Host & Login for Import
Exported Keys (SSH Out)
Host The host name or IP address which will be associated with the SSH Key, typically
the host that the key was generated on. Once imported, the key can be used to
access the EMG from any host, not just the host associated with the key.
User The User ID of the user being given secure access to the EMG unit.
Import via Select SCP, SFTP, FTP, HTTPS, or Copy/Paste as the method for importing the
SSH keys. SCP is the default. If SCP, SFTP or FTP are selected, the Filename,
Host, Path, Login, and Password fields are filled in. If HTTPS is selected, the
Upload File link will become active to upload a file containing a public key to the
EMG. If Copy/Paste is selected, the public key will be entered into the Filename/
Public Key field.
Filename Public Key The name of the file that was uploaded via HTTPS, or to be copied via SCP, SFTP
or FTP (may contain multiple keys); or the public key (optionally including
"user@host" at the end) if Copy/Paste is used.
Host IP address of the remote server from which to SCP, SFTP or FTP the public key
file.
Path Optional pathname to the public key file.
Login User ID to use to SCP, SFTP or FTP the file.
Password /
Retype Password
Password to use to SCP, SFTP or FTP the file.
Export Enables you to export created public keys. Select one of the following:
New Key for User: Enables you to create a new key for a user and export the
public key in a file.
All Previously Created Keys: Does not create any keys, but exports all
previously created public keys in one file.
User User ID of the person given secure access to the remote server.
Key Name Name of the key. This will generate the public key filename (e.g., <keyname>.pub).
Key Type Select either the RSA or the DSA encryption standard. RSA is the default.
Number of Bits Select the number of bits in the key (1024, 2048, 3072, or 4096). The default is
2048.
Passphrase / Retype
Passphrase
Optionally, enter a passphrase associated with the key. The passphrase may have
up to 50 characters. The passphrase is an optional password that can be
associated with an SSH key. It is unique to each user and to each key.
See Key Sequences for notes on key sequence precedence and behavior.
SECSH Format Indicate whether the keys will be exported in SECSH format (by default the key is
exported in OpenSSH format).
Public Key Filename Filename of the public host key.
