Example of Generating RSA Keys admin@Unix_client#ssh-keygen -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/admin/.ssh/id_rsa): /home/admin/.ssh/id_rsa already exists. Overwrite (y/n)? y Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /home/admin/.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /home/admin/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. Configuring Host-Based SSH Authentication Authenticate a particular host. This method uses SSH version 2. To configure host-based authentication, use the following commands. 1. Configure RSA Authentication. Refer to Using RSA Authentication of SSH. 2. Create shosts by copying the public RSA key to the file shosts in the directory .ssh, and write the IP address of the host to the file. cp /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub /.ssh/shosts Refer to the first example. 3. Create a list of IP addresses and usernames that are permitted to SSH in a file called rhosts. Refer to the second example. 4. Copy the file shosts and rhosts to the Dell Networking system. 5. Disable password authentication and RSA authentication, if configured CONFIGURATION mode or EXEC Privilege mode no ip ssh password-authentication or no ip ssh rsa-authentication 6. Enable host-based authentication. CONFIGURATION mode ip ssh hostbased-authentication enable 7. Bind shosts and rhosts to host-based authentication. CONFIGURATION mode ip ssh pub-key-file flash://filename or ip ssh rhostsfile flash://filename Examples of Creating shosts and rhosts The following example shows creating shosts. admin@Unix_client# cd /etc/ssh admin@Unix_client# ls moduli sshd_config ssh_host_dsa_key.pub ssh_host_key.pub ssh_host_rsa_key.pub ssh_config ssh_host_dsa_key ssh_host_key ssh_host_rsa_key admin@Unix_client# cat ssh_host_rsa_key.pub ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEA8K7jLZRVfjgHJzUOmXxuIbZx/ AyWhVgJDQh39k8v3e8eQvLnHBIsqIL8jVy1QHhUeb7GaDlJVEDAMz30myqQbJgXBBRTWgBpLWwL/ doyUXFufjiL9YmoVTkbKcFmxJEMkE3JyHanEi7hg34LChjk9hL1by8cYZP2kYS2lnSyQWk= Security 173

Example of Generating RSA Keys
admin@Unix_client#ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/admin/.ssh/id_rsa):
/home/admin/.ssh/id_rsa already exists.
Overwrite (y/n)? y
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /home/admin/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/admin/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
Configuring Host-Based SSH Authentication
Authenticate a particular host. This method uses SSH version 2.
To configure host-based authentication, use the following commands.
1.
Configure RSA Authentication. Refer to
Using RSA Authentication of SSH
.
2.
Create
shosts
by copying the public RSA key to the file
shosts
in the directory
.ssh
, and write the IP
address of the host to the file.
cp /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub /.ssh/shosts
Refer to the first example.
3.
Create a list of IP addresses and usernames that are permitted to SSH in a file called
rhosts
.
Refer to the second example.
4.
Copy the file
shosts
and
rhosts
to the Dell Networking system.
5.
Disable password authentication and RSA authentication, if configured
CONFIGURATION mode or EXEC Privilege mode
no ip ssh password-authentication
or
no ip ssh rsa-authentication
6.
Enable host-based authentication.
CONFIGURATION mode
ip ssh hostbased-authentication enable
7.
Bind
shosts
and
rhosts
to host-based authentication.
CONFIGURATION mode
ip ssh pub-key-file flash:
//filename
or
ip ssh rhostsfile flash:
//filename
Examples of Creating
shosts
and
rhosts

shosts
