2.3 Changing the password

Issue C
Note: If you plan to use ssh regularly to communicate with a
CMG-EAM, you can configure the system to bypass the
password prompt from a list of pre-authorised computer/user
combinations. This involves generating a unique key-pair (for
the user and PC which will access the CMG-EAM) and then
copying the public half of the key-pair to the CMG-EAM. This is
implemented using the PuTTYgen and Pageant programs: see
section 6.5 on page 67 and the help facility within PuTTY for
more information.
