15. Advanced Configuration If the Tripp Lite device selected to be the server will have only one client device, the authorized_keys file is simply a copy of the public key for that device. If one or more devices will be clients of the server, the authorized_keys file will contain a copy of all public keys. RSA and DSA keys may be freely mixed in the authorized_keys file. For example, assume we already have one server, called bridge_server, and two sets of keys for the control_room and the plant_entrance: $ ls /home/user/keys control_room control_room.pub plant_entrance plant_entrance.pub $ cat /home/user/keys/control_room.pub /home/user/keys/plant_entrance.pub > /home/user/keys/authorized_keys_bridge_server Primary Secondary Primary More documentation on OpenSSH can be found at: http://openssh.org/portable.html http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1 http://www openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd. 15.6.5 Generating Public/Private Keys for SSH (Windows) This section describes how to generate and configure SSH keys using Windows. First, create a new user from the Tripp Lite management (the following example uses a user called "testuser"), making sure it is a member of the "users" group. If you do not already have a public/private key pair, you can generate them now using ssh-keygen, PuTTYgen or a similar tool: PuTTYgen: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html OpenSSH: http://www.openssh.org/ OpenSSH (Windows): http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/download/ For example, when using PuTTYgen, make sure you have a recent version of the puttygen.exe (available from http://www. chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html). Also, make sure you have a recent version of WinSCP (available from http://winscp.net/eng/download.php ). To generate a SSH key using PuTTY http://sourceforge.net/docs/F02/#clients: • Execute the PUTTYGEN.EXE program. • Select the desired key type SSH2 DSA (you may use RSA or DSA) within the Parameters section. • It is important that you leave the passphrase field blank. • Click on the Generate button. 254
