15. Advanced Configuration 15.6.3 Installing the SSH Public/Private Keys (Clustering) For Tripp Lite console servers, the keys are simply uploaded through the web interface on the System: Administration page. This enables you to upload stored RSA or DSA Public Key pairs to the Primary device and apply the authorized key to the secondary device as described in 4. Serial Port, Host, Device and User Configuration. Once complete, proceed to Fingerprinting, as described below. 15.6.4 Installing SSH Public Key Authentication (Linux) Alternately, the public key can be installed on the unit remotely from the Linux host with the scp utility as follows: Assuming the user on the management console is called "fred"; the console server IP address is 192.168.0.1 (default). The public key is on the linux/unix computer in ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub. Execute the following command on the linux/unix computer: scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub \ [email protected]:/etc/config/users/fred/.ssh/authorized_keys The authorized_keys file on the console server needs to be owned by "fred". As such, log in to the management console as root and type: chown fred /etc/config/users/fred/.ssh/authorized_keys Primary Secondary Secondary 253

Assuming the user on the management console is called “fred”; the console server IP address is 192.168.0.1 (default). The
public key is on the
