SSH Server Host Keys
SSH Host Keys can be obtained in a few different ways:
Uploading keys via PUTTY or other tools which generate RFC4716 format keys.
Creating keys through the device.
The steps for creating or uploading keys is described below.
To upload SSH server host keys generated from PuTTY:
1. Create the keys with puttygen.exe. The keys are in PuTTY format.
2. Use puttygen.exe again to convert the private key to Open SSH format as follows:
a. Import the private key using "Conversions…Import key."
b. Create a new file using "Conversions…Export OpenSSH key."
3. Use ssh-keygen to convert the public key to OpenSSH format.
ssh-keygen -i -f putty_file > openssh_file
