Generate New Keys (Oracle ILOM CLI)

The switch can generate RSA and DSA keys for SSH connections. Generating new keys requires a restart of the SSH server, which terminates any in-process SSH sessions.

1. Determine if an RSA or DSA key is needed.
2. Set the type of key that will be generated.
   • For an RSA key, type:

      -> set /SP/services/ssh/ generate_new_key_type=rsa
     Set 'generate_new_key_type' to 'rsa'
     ->
     

   • For a DSA key, type:

      -> set /SP/services/ssh/ generate_new_key_type=dsa
     Set 'generate_new_key_type' to 'dsa'
     ->
     

3. Generate the appropriate key.

    -> set /SP/services/ssh generate_new_key_action=true
   Set 'generate_new_key_action' to 'true'
   ->
