sshUtil 2 OPERANDS This command supports generation of a public/private key pair on the switch to enable outgoing connections between a switch and a remote host. To set up incoming connections, you must first generate the public/private key pair on a remote host and then import the public key to the switch. Use the SSH utility ssh-keygen -t dsa to generate the keys on the remote host. Refer to your UNIX system documentation for details on this command. This command supports the following operands: allowuser user name Configures the specified user to perform public key authentication and all related management operations for outgoing public key authentication. This operation can only be performed by the default admin. The default admin is, by default, a configured user. Only one user can be configured at any given time. The following operand is required: user name Specifies login name for the configured user. The user must be in the switch user database and must have admin privileges on the switch. showuser Displays the currently configured user. This operation can only be performed by the default admin. importpubkey Imports a public key from a remote host to the local switch. The protocol used is SCP. This operation supports authentication for incoming connections. For this operation to succeed, a public/private key pair must be generated on the remote host prior to the import by issuing ssh-genkey -t dsa (a UNIX command). The command prompts for a user name for whom the public key is imported. Once the public key is imported successfully, the user for whom the key was imported can perform public key authentication with the switch from the remote host, on which the private key resides. importpubkey prompts for the following input parameters: Username Enter the user name for whom the key is imported. IP Address Enter the IP address for the remote host. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. remote directory Enter the path where the public key is stored on the remote host. The default directory where SSH stores public keys is ~username/.ssh. public key name Enter the name of the file in which the public key is stored on the remote host. This is a user-generated file name that must have a .pub extension. login name Enter the user login name for the remote host. password Enter the password for the remote user. showpubkeys Displays all imported public keys associated with the specified user. Public keys generated on the switch are not shown. This command interactively prompts for a username. username Enter the username for whom you want to display the public keys.
