.

2. Install your public key using the access add public key command.

3. Run the following command:

# ssh-keygen -t rsa -N

This command generates ~/.ssh/id_dsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub.

4. Run the following command:

# scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

SP_IP:/tmp

Enter your password when prompted.

5. Run the following command:

# ssh

SP_IP access add public key -k /tmp/id_rsa.pub

Enter your password when prompted.

6. Run the following command:
