sshhostkey
The sshhostkey program is used to manage host keys in the Windows registry or a KVGroup-based database.
This program is installed with Connector Pack . It may be located in the util directory under either the Connector Pack\global\ directory or the IDM Suite\<instance> directory.
Usage
sshhostkey print|delete|verify|update -s <Server>:<Port> [-v] [-f <filename>] [--instance <instance>]
The arguments are described in the following table:
Argument | Description |
|---|---|
Prints the public key for the specified <server>:<port> or for the servers specified by the server pattern. | |
delete | Deletes the public key for the specified <server>:<port> or for the servers specified by the server pattern. |
verify | Verifies the public key for the specified <server>:<port>. |
update | Updates the public key for the specified <server>:<port>, if it doesn’t match the stored key. |
-s <server>:<port> | The DNS name or IP address of the target system. You can use a regular expression to match more than one server. |
-l | Displays verbose messaging for verify and update arguments. |
-f <filename> | Uses the host key KVG file, or the registry if a file isn’t specified. |
--instance <instance> | The name of the Bravura Security Fabric instance on which to run this utility to get log information. If not specified, the program looks for the default instance. |
It is recommended that you perform a print before using delete with extended regular expression patterns.
Examples
