How to create an SSH key pair¶
To access our environment via SSH, you need to generate a key pair following the steps below:
Linux¶
a) To generate the key pair, use the following command in your terminal.
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa): [press ENTER]
Created directory '/root/.ssh'.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [enter a password and press ENTER to confirm]
Enter same passphrase again: [repeat password and press ENTER]
b) After receiving the message that the key was generated, you can view the two created files by listing the directory contents ls $HOME/.ssh id_rsa id_rsa.pub
c) Once the keys are generated, send the .pub key to the IT team via email at helpdesk@linea.org.br. The LIneA IT team will configure the key on the server and respond with login instructions for the Apollo cluster. Please wait for confirmation.
Windows¶
To generate a key pair on the Windows operating system:
a) Download and install the PuTTY application.
b) Access the folder where the program was installed (this installation was performed on Windows 10) C:\Program File\PuTTY (the path may vary depending on the operating system). Open the PuTTYgen program.
c) Click Generate (keep the key type as RSA).
NOTE: Moving the mouse pointer helps generate the key more quickly, as it generates random bits.
d) Key pair successfully generated.
- Copy the public key to be saved on the server (highlighted in yellow in the image);
- Set a password for the public key (highlighted in blue in the image);
- After copying, save the public and private keys on your computer (highlighted in red in the image) and send the
.pubkey to the IT team via email at helpdesk@linea.org.br. The LIneA IT team will configure the key on the server. Please wait for confirmation.
e) After receiving the confirmation email that the .pub key was registered on the access server, configure the PuTTY program.
- Create a desktop shortcut and open PuTTY;
- Enter the Hostname: login.linea.org.br.
f) On the left side, go to the option SSH > Auth (highlighted in blue) > click Browse (highlighted in yellow) and select the key file with .ppk extension.
h) If you need to use a tunnel, perform the following configuration.
NOTE: tunnels are configured according to what the user needs to access
- Go to the Tunnels option (left side);
- In Source port, enter the port number;
- Destination > enter the destination address > Add.
Return to the left side and go to the first menu option Session (in red), enter the session name (in yellow) and click Save (in blue). To access, click Open.
