Overview

To use SSH keys on IU Sitehosting, follow the instructions for your OS.

An SSH key consists of a pair of files. One is the private key, which you should never give to anyone. No one will ever ask you for it and if so, simply ignore them - they are trying to steal it. The other is the public key. When you generate your keys, you will use ssh-keygen to store the keys in a safe location so you can authenticate with.

The process requires generating a public and private key on the local computer and then adding the public key to the.

1. Generate a public/private key pair:
   1. Log in to the computer you will use to access Sitehost, and then use the command line to generate a key pair. To generate RSA keys, on the command line, enter:
   2. You will be prompted to supply a filename (for saving the key pair) and a passphrase (for protecting your private key):
      • Filename: To accept the default filename and location for your key pair, press Enter or Return without entering a filename. Alternatively, you can enter a filename (for example, my_ssh_key) at the prompt, and then press Enter or Return.
      • Passphrase: Enter a passphrase that contains at least five characters, and then press Enter or Return. If you press Enter or Return without entering a passphrase, your private key will be generated without password protection.
2. Once the key pair has been generated, navigate to the location where you saved the public key.
3. Copy the contents of your public key (this is the file with the .pub extension).
4. Once you copy the contents of your public key, see Add a public key to IU Sitehosting below.

Generate SSH keys on Windows

1. Install PuTTY. The PuTTY command-line SSH client, the PuTTYgen key generation utility, the Pageant SSH authentication agent, and the PuTTY SCP and SFTP utilities are packaged together in a Windows installer available under The MIT License for free download from the PuTTY development team.
2. Launch PuTTYgen.
3. In the 'PuTTY Key Generator' window, under 'Parameters':
   • For 'Type of key to generate', select RSA. (In older versions of PuTTYgen, select SSH2-RSA.)
   • For 'Number of bits in a generated key', leave the default value (2048).
4. Under 'Actions', click Generate.
5. When prompted, use your mouse (or trackpad) to move your cursor around the blank area under 'Key'; this generates randomness that PuTTYgen uses to generate your key pair.
6. When your key pair is generated, PuTTYgen displays the public key in the area under 'Key'. In the 'Key passphrase' and 'Confirm passphrase' text boxes, enter a passphrase to passphrase-protect your private key.
   If you don't passphrase-protect your private key, anyone with access to your computer will be able to SSH (without being prompted for a passphrase) to your account on any remote system that has the corresponding public key.
7. Right-click in the 'Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file' text box, choose Select All, and then right-click in the text box again and select Copy.
8. Save your private key in a safe place. You'll use the passphrase any time you log into a Sitehost server using SSH keys, and you'll need to copy the public key to your profile on the WebTech website. To save your private key:
   1. Under 'Actions', next to 'Save the generated key', click Save private key.
      If you didn't passphrase-protect your private key, the utility will ask whether you're sure you want to save it without a passphrase. Click Yes to proceed or No to go back and create a passphrase for your private key.
   2. Keep 'Save as type' set to PuTTY Private Key Files (*.ppk), give the file a name (for example, putty_private_key), select a location on your computer to store it, and then click Save.
   3. If you wish to connect to a remote desktop system such as Research Desktop (RED), click Conversions > Export OpenSSH key, give the file a name (for example, putty_rsa), select a location on your computer to store it, and then click Save.

If you no longer have the public key, or if it is later determined to be invalid, use the following steps to obtain a public key:

1. Launch PuTTYgen.
2. Click Load.
3. Navigate to your private key and click Open.
4. In the PuTTYgen pop-up window, enter the passphrase.
5. Right-click in the 'Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file' text box, choose Select All, and then right-click in the text box again and select Copy.
6. Select File > Exit to close PuTTYgen.

Add a public key to IU Sitehosting

1. Go to the IU Sitehosting account management.
2. At the top right, click Sign in, and, if prompted, log in with your IU username and passphrase.
3. At the top right, click your name. You'll be taken to the 'Manage your profile' page.
4. Under 'Manage SSH keys':
   1. In the 'Note' field, enter a short description.
   2. In the 'Public Key' field, paste the public key you copied in step 7 above.
5. Click Add. If the public key is valid, it will be added to your profile. Within 30 minutes, the public key will be added to all sitehost-test and sitehost accounts that you own, or for which you are a proxy or developer.

This guide goes through setting up SSH keys on macOS Mojave 10.14 back to Mac OSX 10.11 and also a secure password-less SSH connection between a local macOS workstation and a remote server also running a Linux variant operating system.

Overwatch key generator site youtube.com. The process requires generating a public and private key on the local computer and then adding the public key to the remote servers authorised list. What is great about this is that it allows a password prompt free session, handy for a lot of uses.

First thing that you need to do on your macOS machine is to create a directory that will store your SSH keys. Then you will generate a public and private key for your account, launch the Terminal and punch in some commands:

Create a .ssh Directory

Change to the home directory

Create a SSH directory name .ssh and move into it

Make sure that the file permissions are set to read/write/execute only for the user

Create your private and public key, the blank quotes at the end of the command gives the private key no password, so allowing for passwordless logins!

Change into the .ssh directory and list the contents of that .ssh directory

Thats your SSH keys created, the private key is the id_rsa and the public one is the id_rsa.pub, don’t give out the private one always keep that one only on your local machine.

Sharing the Public Key

Ssh Private Key File

Create an authorized_keys in the .ssh directory of the remote computer that you want to connect to.

You can create automatic logins by adding the contents of your public key to the authorized_keys file on the remote device.

To see and copy your public key use the cat command and copy the contents:

On the remote computer if needed, change the permssions on the authorized_keys file to write to add the public key, on a new line paste in your public key, and change permissions back to read only after for security.

Allow write on authorised_keys

Paste the entire id_rsa.pub content with vi or nano into the authorized_keys file, if using nano use the -w flag to not use incorrect line breaks.

If the remote host does not have an “authorized_keys” file simply create one and after the public key is pasted in don’t forget to takeaway write permissions.

Going Both Ways

So now when you connect via SSH no password is prompted as the remote computer has your public key which is only decrypted by your private key held in your local .ssh/ directory. If you want the communications to be bilateral then repeat the process in the opposite order between the two.

Now the two computers can securely connect with no password prompting, making it ideal to script between the two for file copies or back ups.
