Using agtssh with Public/Private Authentication Key Management
When configuring SSH connections, there are two general scenarios. The first involves generating a public/private key pair, then adding the public key to the authorized key file of the target SSH system. The second scenario entails using a pre-existing public/private key pair, typically in PEM/PPK format, such as when authenticating to an AWS UNIX instance.
To facilitate these processes,
Bravura Security Fabric provides two utilities, located in the utils directory, to facilitate this process:
sshkeygen.exeThis tool generates public/private key pairs for authentication. It produces Bravura Security-style key pairs or Putty format keys.
sshkeyconvert.exeThis tool converts PEM/PPK format files to the KVG public/private format. See Scenario Two: Converting a PEM/PPK to kvg Format Authentication Key.
