About this task

To check in an existing SSH User Identity Key from a file:
Note:
  • The ssh-dss host key algorithm is deprecated as OpenSSH 7.0 has disabled it. It is very weak and OpenSSH 7.0 does not recommend its usage. If you still want to use this key-type/algorithm, you must include the property security.SSHClientSignatureList_SSHD=ssh-dss,ssh-dss-cert-v01@openssh.com,ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com in the customer_overrides.properties file.
  • For SFTP Client Adapter 2.0:

    Keys of type DSS of length > 1024 is not supported by Sterling B2B Integrator, if the keys are generated by Sterling B2B Integrator.

    If you still want to use such keys of length >= 1024, you must use the external tools like PuttyGen and checkin to the system as OpenSSH keytype.
