Host Keys
Description
Key
upload or use the Browse button to select the key. Be sure the
private key will not be compromised in transit. This implies the
data is uploaded over some kind of secure private network.
Public
Key
Enter the path and name of the existing public key you want to
upload or use the Browse button to select the key.
Key Type
Select a key type to use:
RSA = use this key with SSH1 and SSH2 protocols.
DSA = use this key with the SSH2 protocol.
Create New
Keys
Key Type
Select a key type to use for the new key:
RSA = use this key with the SSH1 and SSH2 protocols.
DSA = use this key with the SSH2 protocol.
Bit Size
Select a bit length for the new key:
512
768
1024
Using a larger bit size takes more time to generate the key.
Approximate times are:
10 seconds for a 512 bit RSA Key
15 seconds for a 768 bit RSA Key
1 minute for a 1024 bit RSA key
30 seconds for a 512 bit DSA key
1 minute for a 768 bit DSA key
2 minutes for a 1024 bit DSA key
Some SSH clients require RSA host keys to be at least 1024 bits
long.
Note:
EDS4100 generates keys up to 1024 bits long. It can work
with larger keys (up to 2048 bit ) if they are imported or otherwise
created.
