Topic - Steps to follow in configuring a VT Display session for SSH client authentication using a public key

Here is a preview of the steps to follow in configuring a VT Display session for SSH client authentication using a public key:

1. Use keytool (a program distributed with Host On-Demand) to generate a public-private key pair. (This tool stores both keys of the pair as an entry in a file called a keystore.)

2. Use the Export Public Key utility (integrated into the SSH configuration window of the VT Display session configuration) to extract the public key from the keystore into a separate file.

3. Configure the SSH server with the public key.

4. Copy the keystore containing the public-private key pair to the workstation for the SSH client.

5. Configure the SSH configuration window for client authentication using a public key.
