Complete this task only if you are using the ssh-agent. Complete this task before you start the Master Server
You must execute all the SSH setup commands in the following setup tasks, ssh, ssh-add, and cr_server start, in the same session as the session that you used to start the ssh-agent. If this session is terminated, you must kill the ssh-agent program that is running and start a new ssh-agent program.
Start the ssh-agent.
% eval `ssh-agent` |
The ssh-agent starts and sets two environment variables. SSH_AUTH_SOCK and SSH_AGENT_PID are used by ssh and ssh-add to connect to the ssh-agent.
Upload the private key that you generated.
% ssh-add path-to-file/ |
path-to-file/ is the path to the secure media where you saved the private key file.
You are prompted to provide a password.
Provide the password that you created when you generated the keys.
You can shut down the ssh-agent by running the command eval `ssh-agent –k`.
This command uses the SSH_AGENT_PID variable to send a signal to the ssh-agent process to shut it down. The command also unsets the environment variables that were set when you started the ssh-agent.
