SSH Server Host Keys
SSH Host Keys can be obtained in a few different ways:
 Uploading keys via PUTTY or other tools which generate RFC4716 format keys.
 Creating keys through the EDS.
The steps for creating or uploading keys is described below.
To upload SSH server host keys generated from PuTTY:
1. Create the keys with puttygen.exe. The keys are in PuTTY format.
2. Use puttygen.exe again to convert the private key to Open SSH format as follows:
a. Import the private key using "Conversions…Import key."
b. Create a new file using "Conversions…Export OpenSSH key."
3. Use ssh-keygen to convert the public key to OpenSSH format.
ssh-keygen -i -f putty_file > openssh_file
4. Select SSH on the menu bar and SSH Server: Host Keys at the top of the page. The SSH
Server Host Keys page appears.
