The procedure
Create the host key.
1. If the Rack PDU Security Wizard is not already installed on your computer,
obtain and run the installation program ( Rack PDU Security Wizard.exe) .
2. On the Windows Start menu, select Programs , then Rack PDU Security
Wizard .
3. On the Step 1 screen, select SSH Server Host Key as the type of file to create,
and then select the length of the key to generate (use 1024 bits, which is the
default setting, or use 2048 bits to provide complex encryption and a high level
of security).
4. Enter a name for this file, which will contain the host key. The file must have a
.p15 suffix. By default, the file will be created in the installation folder
C:\Program Files\Dell\Rack PDU Security Wizard .
5. Click Next to generate the host key.
6. The summary screen displays the SSH version 2 fingerprints, which are unique
for each host key and identify the host key. After you load the host key onto the
Rack PDU, you can verify that the correct host key was uploaded by verifying
that the fingerprints displayed here match the SSH fingerprints on the Rack
PDU, as displayed by your SSH client program.
7. The last screen verifies that the host key was created, instructs you to load the
host key to the Rack PDU, and displays the location and name of the host key,
which has a
.p15 file suffix.
