15.6.5 Generating public/private keys for SSH (Windows)
This section describes how to generate and configure SSH keys using Windows.
FirstcreateanewuserfromtheConsoleServerManagementConsole(thefollowingexampleusesausercalled"testuser")
makingsureitisamemberofthe"users"group.
If you do not already have a public/private key pair you can generate them now using ssh-keygen, PuTTYgen or a similar tool:
PuTTYgen: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
OpenSSH:http://www.openssh.org/
OpenSSH(Windows):http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/download/
ForexampleusingPuTTYgen,makesureyouhavearecentversionoftheputtygen.exe(availablefrom http://www.chiark.

(availablefromhttp://winscp.net/eng/download.php)
To generate a SSH key using PuTTY http://sourceforge.net/docs/F02/#clients:
