You can generate 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
You can also create a valid ECDSA key pair for authentication:
ssh-keygen -t ecdsa
Tip: Issue the command from the $HOME/.ssh directory.
This process generates two user named files. If you select
the name key, the files are named key and key.pub.
Where key is the name of the private key and key.pub is
the name of the public key.
- Associate the public key with a user on the clustered system using the
management GUI.
