    Smile Creating SSH Auth keys

    Well i figured id make a tutorial just to help expand this forum.

    A lot of you people will say this is very easy to do and why did i even post this?

    Well this may be easy to you but to others its not


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To start things off what are we doing first of all?

    We are going to create a SSH Key for Authentication

    Why do we need to create a ssh key for authentication?


    Using ssh keys increases your servers security from malicious users


    Step 1.

    Easy way to get it done with in a matter of seconds

    Go to your Website.com:2086

    And to the left in the Frame there will be a text called

    Manage SSH Keys located in Security

    Example Link

    http://0.0.0.0:2086/scripts2/sshkeys

    Once you are there you will see the text

    Generate New Key

    You will then click that

    you will then see a form stating

    Key Name (defaults to id_dsa):

    Key Password (blank for none):

    Password (Again):


    key name is just want you are wanting to call it

    key Password is the password you are wanting to use to connect to ssh

    and password again is the same pass you typed in Key Password


    Then you will specify DSA or RSA and key size

    Example

    Key Type = DSA
    Key size = 1024


    After typing in the information provided click Generate New key

    your Key has now been added to the public key list what we need to do now is authorize it

    Go back to the Manage SSH Manager page

    And you will now see your Key Name that you specified when you created the key

    Example

    William unauthorized Delete key View Key Authorize key

    You are going to want to click Authorize Key

    After doing so go back to Manage SSH page and then click

    Under Private Keys

    View/Download keys

    Once you done that you will see a lot of information type in your password to convert it to .ppk format .ppk is a extension Putty uses.


    You will now see new text copy all of that information go to anywhere on your computer example

    C:\

    make a new text file call it whatever you want and paste that text inside the .txt file after doing that download putty here

    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

    save the text file as something.ppk

    Open up Putty then click SSH then Auth and under browse go to where you placed the .ppk file and select it

    After doing that go back up to Session type in your IP and then port click Open it will then ask you what is your pass for your .ppk file the pass is what you chose when you first created the ssh key

    And whola you have just created a SSH key

    Hope this helps someone out there Need any help pm me or just reply here

    Default Creating SSH Auth keys

    You can use logwatch and see that maximum failed logins from each IP is the number you have set. I suggest using higher time than 60 seconds.. something like 20 minutes 1200 seconds.
