Managing keys for Python-based targets

When managing SSH keys for users and host keys for Python-based targets, use the appropriate programs on the operating system, for example by using ssh-keygen . Ensure that SSH keys are properly stored and managed to maintain security and prevent authentication issues.

The methods noted below are suitable for the aix_ng , solaris_ng , and linux_ng Python-based connectors. These connectors make use of paramiko for the Python library to implement the SSHv2 protocol and to establish a secure remote connection through SSH.

These connectors do not allow empty administrator passwords for password-based authentication.

When the authentication key file is used, the passphrase must be provided and you must enter it in the target system’s administrator ID password field. Authentication key files for users are stored in the <Program Files path>\Bravura Security\Bravura Security Fabric\<instance>\ script\ directory.
