Editing or Copying an SSH Key Authentication Definition

When authentication requirements for destination services change, authentication requests from client applications can change. Changes in requests require changes in authentication definitions.

You can change how Sterling External Authentication Server authenticates SSH keys and users by copying, editing, and deleting SSH key authentication definitions. To create a new SSH key authentication definition, you can save time and reduce errors by copying, renaming, and editing a similar definition to create the new one.

To copy or edit an SSH key authentication definition:

  1. To duplicate a Authentication Definition from IBM Sterling External Authentication Server, select Authentication from the left hand-side navigation panel.
  2. Click Duplicate from the overflow menu () on the row to be changed.
  3. To edit a Authentication Definition, click Edit from the overflow menu () on the row to be changed.
  4. Rename the Authentication Definition.
  5. Change the parameter settings as required.
  6. Verify the settings and click Save.
