Exporting an Encryption Key
The following procedure exports the public key of a key pair into the
AT-S62 file system. (The management software does not allow you to
export a private key.) Before performing this procedure, please note the
following:
❑ The only circumstance in which you are likely to perform this
procedure is if you are using an SSH client that does not download
the key automatically when you start an SSH management
session. In that situation, you can use this procedure to export the
SSH client key from the key database into the AT-S62 file system,
from where you can download it onto the SSH management
session for incorporation in your SSH client software.
❑ You should not use this procedure to export an SSL public key.
Typically, an SSL public key only has value when incorporated into
a certificate or enrollment request.
To export a public key into the file system, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 8 to select Security Configuration.
The Security Configuration menu is shown in Figure 175 on page
