Guidelines

The convert-keycommand converts a private key alias to a specific output format and writes it to a file. If the output format includes private fields of the key, the file must be in the same directory as the configured file of the private key alias.

The openssh-pubkey format can be used in OpenSSH authorized_keys files. The format does not contain any private fields. It contains only public fields.
