Accessing a NetScaler by Using SSH Keys and
No Password
If you administer a large number of NetScaler appliances, storing and looking up
passwords for logging on to individual appliances can be cumbersome. To avoid being
prompted for passwords, you can set up secure shell access with public key encryption
on each appliance.
NetScaler features can also use SSH key based authentication for internal
communication when the nsinternal user is disabled (by using the set ns config -
internaluserlogin disabled command). In such cases, the key name must be set as
"ns_comm_key".
To set up access using SSH keys, you must generate the public-private key pair on a
client and copy the public key to the remote NetScaler appliance.
To generate the keys and connect to a remote
NetScaler by using SSH keys
1. On a client (Linux client or a NetScaler) change directory to /root/.ssh.
cd /root/.ssh
2. Generate the public-private key pair.
ssh-keygen -t <key_type> -f <optional_key_file_name>
Example: To create an RSA key with default file name.
ssh-keygen -t rsa
