Hi,
We wish to register RSA key fingerprint with JVM 1.4.2 under UNIX environment.
Any inputs how to go for it?
The output we are getting as
"The authenticity of host 'sxfer01.bluecrossmn.com (159.136.224.30)' can't be established.

Hi All,
I need to scp a folder from one host to another in a script. When I run a command , it asks me to authenticate for the RSA key fingerprint for the first time.
# scp -r temp1 root@iqcarrot:/root/

I am trying to SFTP to a couple sites. One has an RSA-KEY that was sent to me. Currently I am running that manually using WinSCP. I would like to set it up as a CRON process on our Linux host (Sun).
Can I use the rsa-key they sent me in any directory or does it need to be placed in a specific... (2 Replies)
Dear All,
I need to decrypt with private key most of the time and this works for RSA. At times I need to decrypt with public key (data is encrypted with private key). This does not seem to work via VB.Net. Is there support for such an activity in Java on Linux or Windows ? Please advise.

Hi there,
I have a Linux Debian machine with the following fingerprint :
e1:95:11:46:ff:d1:e3:4a:a3:34:1a:25:b4:d8:f1:cb.
I'd like to set this fingerprint to :
cd:19:bd:f6:8e:00:7a:69:14:52:a1:73:cb:15:a5:ca.
I have very specific reasons to do that. So please only answer if you know how... (5 Replies)
Hello all,
I am setting up a cluster of Mac Pro's which need to be able to talk to a master computer, traffic between the nodes and the master needs to take place without a ssh key. I need a script that will create a security key, save it to the default place, enter the password as no password.... (2 Replies)
I'm stumped on an issue I'm having with RSA key based SSH logons.
I have 30 servers in a database cluster. They are all Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4.

Hi All,
I have a scenario where from machine1 I need to establish sftp/ssh to machine2.
Internet is full of examples of this how to generate they key-pair etc... but all examples assume that the account is the same on machine1 and machine2.
I would like to do the following:

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i need to check if an rsa public key corresponds to a private key and hence return success or failure. Currently i am using the command

and its solving my purpose. This is in... (1 Reply)

ssh-copy-id
SSH-COPY-ID(1) BSD General Commands Manual SSH-COPY-ID(1)NAME
ssh-copy-id -- use locally available keys to authorise logins on a remote machine
SYNOPSIS
ssh-copy-id [-f] [-n] [-i [identity_file]] [-p port] [-o ssh_option] [user@]hostname
ssh-copy-id -h | -?
DESCRIPTION
ssh-copy-id is a script that uses ssh(1) to log into a remote machine (presumably using a login password, so password authentication should
be enabled, unless you've done some clever use of multiple identities). It assembles a list of one or more fingerprints (as described below)
and tries to log in with each key, to see if any of them are already installed (of course, if you are not using ssh-agent(1) this may result
in you being repeatedly prompted for pass-phrases). It then assembles a list of those that failed to log in, and using ssh, enables logins
with those keys on the remote server. By default it adds the keys by appending them to the remote user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (creating
the file, and directory, if necessary). It is also capable of detecting if the remote system is a NetScreen, and using its 'set ssh pka-dsa
key ...' command instead.
The options are as follows:
-i identity_file
Use only the key(s) contained in identity_file (rather than looking for identities via ssh-add(1) or in the default_ID_file). If the
filename does not end in .pub this is added. If the filename is omitted, the default_ID_file is used.
Note that this can be used to ensure that the keys copied have the comment one prefers and/or extra options applied, by ensuring that
the key file has these set as preferred before the copy is attempted.
-f Forced mode: doesn't check if the keys are present on the remote server. This means that it does not need the private key. Of
course, this can result in more than one copy of the key being installed on the remote system.
-n do a dry-run. Instead of installing keys on the remote system simply prints the key(s) that would have been installed.
-h, -? Print Usage summary
-p port, -o ssh_option
These two options are simply passed through untouched, along with their argument, to allow one to set the port or other ssh(1)
options, respectively.
Rather than specifying these as command line options, it is often better to use (per-host) settings in ssh(1)'s configuration file:
ssh_config(5).
Default behaviour without -i, is to check if 'ssh-add -L' provides any output, and if so those keys are used. Note that this results in the
comment on the key being the filename that was given to ssh-add(1) when the key was loaded into your ssh-agent(1) rather than the comment
contained in that file, which is a bit of a shame. Otherwise, if ssh-add(1) provides no keys contents of the default_ID_file will be used.
The default_ID_file is the most recent file that matches: ~/.ssh/id*.pub, (excluding those that match ~/.ssh/*-cert.pub) so if you create a
key that is not the one you want ssh-copy-id to use, just use touch(1) on your preferred key's .pub file to reinstate it as the most recent.
EXAMPLES
If you have already installed keys from one system on a lot of remote hosts, and you then create a new key, on a new client machine, say, it
can be difficult to keep track of which systems on which you've installed the new key. One way of dealing with this is to load both the new
key and old key(s) into your ssh-agent(1). Load the new key first, without the -c option, then load one or more old keys into the agent,
possibly by ssh-ing to the client machine that has that old key, using the -A option to allow agent forwarding:
user@newclient$ ssh-add
user@newclient$ ssh -A old.client
user@oldl$ ssh-add -c
... prompt for pass-phrase ...
user@old$ logoff
user@newclient$ ssh someserver
now, if the new key is installed on the server, you'll be allowed in unprompted, whereas if you only have the old key(s) enabled, you'll be
asked for confirmation, which is your cue to log back out and run
user@newclient$ ssh-copy-id -i someserver
The reason you might want to specify the -i option in this case is to ensure that the comment on the installed key is the one from the .pub
file, rather than just the filename that was loaded into you agent. It also ensures that only the id you intended is installed, rather than
all the keys that you have in your ssh-agent(1). Of course, you can specify another id, or use the contents of the ssh-agent(1) as you pre-
fer.
Having mentioned ssh-add(1)'s -c option, you might consider using this whenever using agent forwarding to avoid your key being hijacked, but
it is much better to instead use ssh(1)'s ProxyCommand and -W option, to bounce through remote servers while always doing direct end-to-end
authentication. This way the middle hop(s) don't get access to your ssh-agent(1). A web search for 'ssh proxycommand nc' should prove
enlightening (N.B. the modern approach is to use the -W option, rather than nc(1)).
