15.6.4 Installing SSH Public Key Authentication (Linux)
Alternately, the public key can be installed on the unit remotely from the linux host with the scp utility
as follows.
Assuming the user on the Management Console is called "fred"; the IP address of the console server is
192.168.0.1 (default); and the public key is on the linux/unix computer in ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub. Execute the
following command on the linux/unix computer:
scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub \
root@192.168.0.1:/etc/config/users/fred/.ssh/authorized_keys
The authorized_keys file on the console server needs to be owned by "fred", so login to the
Management Console as root and type:
chown fred /etc/config/users/fred/.ssh/authorized_keys
