In Linux, an SSH key can be created using the command "ssh-keygen" from the command line. Some details will be required to successfully create an SSH key. Execute the following command and follow the steps described below:
user@HostX: ssh-keygen -t dsa
- Enter the name of the file where the key will be saved (/home/utilizator/.ssh/id_dsa)
- Enter a password (leave it free if you do not want to use a password): mypassword; re-enter the password: mypassword
- If you do not want to be prompted for a password every time you use your key, do not enter anything and press "Enter" on each question
- Your (private / public) keys will be saved in /home/utilizator/.ssh/id_dsa si /home/utilizator/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
