SSH keys are used for accessing a Linux/Unix asset without entering a password. SSH keys are more secure than traditional passwords. The private key is also encrypted with a password to hide its contents. You can add an SSH key authenticated account as follows.
Procedure:
-
Login to the system and select PAM from the product navigator.
-
Go to Manage → Click on the account icon of the desired LINUX/UNIX asset → Add Account.
-
In the Add Account form, set Authentication Type → Key Based (the key should be RSA encrypted).
-
Fill in the details.
-
Upload your private key in the Key field and enter your Passphrase in the respective section.
-
Click on Save.
