Manage ssh keys

From VLE

• Installation of the open-ssh client. For example, on Debian and derivated:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openssh-client

• Generation of a pair of public and private keys:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 1024
Generating public/private rsa key pair.

• A series of questions are asked to you. The default choice are good:

Enter file in which to save the key (/home/gquesnel/.ssh/id_rsa):

• A password to block the access to the private key:

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:

• And finally, copy of the public key to the servers:

ssh-copy-id '-p 6999 -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub quesnel@www.vle-project.org'
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub quesnel@lil.univ-littoral.fr
