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 \
[email protected]:/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



If the Console Server device selected to be the server will only have one client device, then the
authorized_keys file is simply a copy of the public key for that device. If one or more devices
will be clients of the server, then the authorized_keys file will contain a copy of all of the public
keys. RSA and DSA keys may be freely mixed in the authorized_keys file. For example, assume
we already have one server, called bridge_server, and two sets of keys, for the control_room
and the plant_entrance: $ ls /home/user/keys control_room control_room.pub plant_entrance
plant_entrance.pub $ cat /home/user/keys/control_room.pub
/home/user/keys/plant_entrance.pub > /home/user/keys/authorized_keys_bridge_server
