Note: Changing the values and submitting them in this manner DOES
NOT generate new host public/private key pairs. See "Creating Host
Public/Private Key Pairs" below for information on how to create new
host public/private key pairs.
Deleting Host Keys
You can delete individual host keys. To delete a key:
1.
Navigate to MANAGEMENT > NETWORK: SSH Setup. The window will
open to the Host Keys tab by default.
2.
Select Delete in the field for the key you wish to delete, and click Submit.
Creating Host Public/Private Key Pairs
You may create individual Host Public/Private Key pairs. Host keys must first be
deleted before new Host Keys can be created. To create a new set of host keys:
1.
To access the SSH setup screen, navigate to MANAGEMENT > NETWORK:
SSH Setup. The window will open to the Host Keys tab by default.
2. Should you want to change the key length of any host key, enter the
desired length in the text field corresponding to the length you wish to
change.
3.
Check the Regenerate All Keys box.
4.
Click Submit.
The KeyType/Status/Action table will temporarily disappear while the
SecureSync regenerates the keys. The Host keys are generated in the back-
ground. Creating RSA and DSA keys, each with 1024 bits length, typically
takes about 30 seconds. Keys are created in the order of RSA, DSA,
ECDSA, ED25519. SecureSync will generate all 4 host keys, RSA, DSA,
ECDSA, and ED25519.
5. Delete any of the keys you do not want. See "Deleting Host Keys" above.
Note: If the unit is rebooted with host key creation in progress,
or the unit is booted and no host keys exist, the key generation
process is restarted. The key generation process uses the pre-
viously specified key sizes.
