Managing SSH keys

Before you do anything else, we strongly advise you to configure your secure shell access. SSH supports a pub key authentication mechanism that allows you to securely login to your system with a personal private cryptographic key. Such a cryptographic key pair (= public and private key) can be created with the ssh-keygen utility.

• create your personal SSH key pair
• find and press the account tab with your name right above and select “account”
• select the “security” option in the menu left.
• copy the content of your public key (.pub file) into the “ssh key” field

Every future Stack Item will be configured with the corresponding SSH key pair access.
