The selected SSH key is removed from iLO. When an SSH key is deleted from iLO, an SSH
client cannot authenticate to iLO by using the corresponding private key.

Authorizing SSH keys from an HP SIM server

The mxagentconfig utility enables you to authorize SSH keys from an HP SIM server.

SSH must be enabled on iLO before you use mxagentconfig to authorize a key.

The user name and password entered in mxagentconfig must correspond to an iLO user
who has the Configure iLO Settings privilege. The user can be a directory user or a local user.

The key is authorized on iLO and corresponds to the user name specified in the
mxagentconfig

command.

For more information about mxagentconfig, see the HP iLO 3 Scripting and Command Line
Guide

Administering SSL certificates

SSL is a standard for encrypting data so that it cannot be viewed or modified while in transit on
the network. SSL uses a key to encrypt and decrypt the data. The longer the key, the better the
encryption.

A certificate is a public document that describes the server. It contains the name of the server and
the server's public key. Because only the server has the corresponding private key, this is how the
server is authenticated.

A certificate must be signed to be valid. If it is signed by a CA, and that CA is trusted, all certificates
signed by the CA are also trusted. A self-signed certificate is one in which the owner of the certificate
acts as its own CA. Self-signed certificates are the default for HP management products, though
they do support certificates signed by certifying authorities.
