+ | ==== How to create a ssh key ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Step 1: Check for SSH keys === | ||
+ | First, we need to check for existing ssh keys on your computer. Open up Terminal and run: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | $ ls | ||
+ | # Lists the files in your .ssh directory</ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Check the directory listing to see if you have a file named < | ||
+ | If you don't, go to step 2. If you already have an existing keypair, skip to step 3. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Step 2: Generate a new SSH key === | ||
+ | |||
+ | To generate a new SSH key, enter the code below. We want the default settings so when asked to enter a file in which to save the key, | ||
+ | just press enter. | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | Generating public/ | ||
+ | ... | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Enter the path to the file that will hold the key: By default, the file name $HOME/ | ||
+ | appears in parentheses. | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | Enter a passphrase for using your key: The passphrase you enter will be used for encrypting your private key. A good passphrase should be alphanumeric having 10-30 character length. You can also use a null passphrase however this can cause a security loophole. | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | Re-enter the passphrase to confirm it: Type your passphrase once again to confirm it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | Enter same passphrase again: <Type the passphrase> | ||
+ | Your identification has been saved in / | ||
+ | Your public key has been saved in / | ||
+ | The key fingerprint is: | ||
+ | 0b: | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Step 3: Send your public | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the folder ~/.ssh you will find file(s) ending with .pub. Please send us the one you just created e.g. <key> id_rsa.pub</ | ||
