Add SSH Client Certificates for Users

Note: This function can also be performed using command line interface. See Configure User Authorization and Authentication Services Using CLI.

If needed, SSH (Secure Shell) Client Authentication keys can be added to a user. The user must first be created before the client certificate can be added.

  1. Select User Management > User List, then click on the name of the user you want to add a SSH client certificate to. The User's page opens.

  2. Enter the SSH key data in the SSH Key Data box. This data is the rsa_id.pub key generated for your client.

    Linux users should delete "name@local host" that appears at the end of the generated key when adding public keys.

    Windows users must always include "name@local host".

  3. Click Add. The key data should be used for authentication and you should not have to enter a password.
  1. Click the checkbox next to the key you want to delete.
  2. Click Delete.
  3. Click OK when prompted to confirm.
