SDT Connector

Public Key Authentication

SDT Connector

can authenticate aga

inst an SSH gateway using your SSH key pair rather than requirin

your to enter your password.

This is known as public key authentication.

To use public key authentication with

SDT Connector

, you must

first

add the public part of your SSH key

pair to your

SSH gateway:



Ensure the SSH gateway allows public key authentication

his is typically the default behavior



If you do not already have a public/private key pairfor your client

computer

(the on

e which the

SDT Connector

is running

) generate them now usin

ssh

keygen, PuTTYgen

or a similar tool. You

may use RSA or DSA, however it is important thatyou l

eave the passphrase field blank:

PuTTYgen:

OpenSSH:

OpenSSH (Windows):



Upload the public part

of your SSH key pair (this file is typically named

id_rsa.pub

id_dsa.pub

)

to the SSH gateway, or add

the

.ssh/authorized keys

in your ho

me directory on the SSH

gateway



Next, add the private part of your SSH key pair (this file is typically named

id_rsa

id_dsa

) to

SDT Connector

Click

Edit

> Preferences

> Private Keys

> Add

, locate the private key file and

click

ou do not have to add the p

ublic part of your SSH key pair;

it is calculated using the private key.

SDT Connector

will now use

public key authentication when connecting through the SSH gateway

(

Console Server

)

ou may have to restart

SDT Connector

to shut down any existing tunnels that were

established using password authentication.

f you hav

e a host behind the

Console Server

at you connect to by clicking the SSH button in

SDT

Connector

you may also wish to configure access to it for public key authentication as well

This

configuration is entirely independent of

SDT Connector

and the SSH gateway

You must configure the
