Oct 14, 2019 Generating ed25519 SSH Key. I'm hoping to reinstall my MacBook Pro 15' 2017 with a fresh macOS Catalina sometime soon, and part of preparations is testing my install methods (hello, brew!) and configuration files migration. Today I decided to setup a new SSH keypair. What is ed25519? Ed25519 is a relatively new cryptography solution implementing Edwards-curve Digital Signature. This information describes how to generate an SSH key pair using OpenSSH. Generating an SSH key pair using OpenSSH. About this task. Set up an RSA key pair on the AIX® or Linux host and the clustered system: Procedure. Create an RSA key pair by issuing a command on the host that is similar to this command: ssh-keygen -t rsa. How to configure ssh-agent on AIX 1. Generate key pair with a passphrase. Test your keys. Start the ssh-agent. Add your key to the agent.
On Windows, you can create SSH keys in many ways. This document explains how to use two SSH applications, PuTTY and Git Bash.
Joyent recommends RSA keys because the node-manta CLI programs work with RSA keys both locally and with the ssh agent. DSA keys will work only if the private key is on the same system as the CLI, and not password-protected.
PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows. You can use PuTTY to generate SSH keys. PuTTY is a free open-source terminal emulator that functions much like the Terminal application in macOS in a Windows environment. This section shows you how to manually generate and upload an SSH key when working with PuTTY in the Windows environment.
PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows that you will use to generate your SSH keys. You can download PuTTY from www.chiark.greenend.org.uk.
When you install the PuTTY client, you also install the PuTTYgen utility. PuTTYgen is what you will use to generate your SSH key for a Windows VM.
This page gives you basic information about using PuTTY and PuTTYgen to log in to your provisioned machine. For more information on PuTTY, see the PuTTY documentation |

To generate an SSH key with PuTTYgen, follow these steps:
Now you must import the copied SSH key to the portal.
PuTTY and OpenSSH use different formats of public SSH keys. If the text you pasted in the SSH Key starts with —— BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY
, it is in the wrong format. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully. Your key should start with ssh-rsa AAAA…
.
Once you upload your SSH key to the portal, you can connect to your virtual machine from Windows through a PuTTY session.
The Git installation package comes with SSH. Using Git Bash, which is the Git command line tool, you can generate SSH key pairs. Git Bash has an SSH client that enables you to connect to and interact with Triton containers on Windows.
To install Git:
When the installation completes, you may need to restart Windows.
To open Git Bash, we recommend launching the application from the Windows command prompt:
C:Program FilesGitbinbash.exe
and press Enter.First, create the SSH directory and then generate the SSH key pair.
One assumption is that the Windows profile you are using is set up with administrative privileges. Given this, you will be creating the SSH directory at the root of your profile, for example:
Change into the .ssh directory C:Usersjoetest.ssh
To upload the public SSH key to your Triton account:
When Triton finishes the adding or uploading process, the public SSH key appears in the list of SSH keys.
Generate tls-auth key openvpn. Mar 03, 2017 As I'd forgotten how to create a new OpenVPN user, it's not something I do every day, I thought I put here a reminder of the process used. To get a private key and a signed public key the easiest way is to use the Easy-RSA program that came with openvpn. Change to the directory. Fourth, I have tls-auth enabled so that all traffic your server will handle is authenticated for better security. If you freestyle (that is, build by hand) your OpenVPN server, you'll need to keep in mind the following things: When you build an OpenVPN server, two files of interest will be created in the /etc/openvpn directory: ca.crt; ta.key. Using tls-auth requires that you generate a shared-secret key that is used in addition to the standard RSA certificate/key: openvpn -genkey -secret ta.key. This command will generate an OpenVPN static key and write it to the file ta.key. This key should be copied over a. Jun 14, 2017 Generating DH Keys In my docker I was able to go to SSLForFree.net and create the certs necessary to get openvpn up and running. Seems the version that on my new firewall requires several different files to be uploaded. Trusted Certificate (CA Certificate) - Got it Server / Client Certificate - Got it Server / Client Key - Got it DH Key - Need it. If you do not have a ta.key, of course tls-auth will fail. You may: drop the tls-auth instruction altogether. This is not a major dent in your security: the Manual in fact states: This feature by itself does not improve the TLS auth in any way, although it offers a 2nd line of defense if a future flaw is discovered in a particular TLS cipher-suite or implementation (such as CVE-2014-0160.
