Other SSH Software

Refer the documentation of SSH software for Configuration of Public Key Authentication. If you want to use Public Key authentication on other SSH software such as Tectia, you have to convert private key file to OpenSSH format.

Note:

You can use Tectia SSH if your application server and web server are running on the same machine. However, if they are on separate machines, you have to convert the private key file to OpenSSH format.
Use the following command to convert private key to OpenSSH format:
ssh-keygen -i -f [filename] (key must be unencrypted)
If key is encrypted, perform the following steps:
  1. Convert private key to OpenSSH format.
  2. Change passphrase using the following OpenSSH command:
    $ ssh-keygen -f <PRIVATE_KEY_PATH> -p
    <private_key_path> refers to path where private key is located including private key name.
