To generate a key in Linux use \u2018ssh-keygen\u2019 command and use command line platform to run it. You would be asked for a file in which the key should be saved, at the time of key generation and for a pass phrase (password) for the key<\/p>\n
The commands and procedure is as follows :<\/strong><\/p>\n user@localhost: ssh-keygen -t dsa The commands will create a private key and written to \/home\/user\/.ssh\/id_dsa and a public key written to \/home\/user\/.ssh\/id_dsa.pub. The passphrase is used to protect your generated key. You will be asked for it when you connect via SSH.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To generate a key in Linux use \u2018ssh-keygen\u2019 command and use command line platform to run it.

\nTo Generate public\/private dsa key pair.
\nPlease enter file in which the ket has been saved for example, The full directory path as (\/home\/user\/.ssh\/id_dsa):
\nEnter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
\nEnter same passphrase again:
\nYour identification has been saved in id_dsa.
\nYour public key has been saved in id_dsa.pub.
\nThe key fingerprint is:
\n16:8e:e8:f2:1d:c9:b9:cf:43:9a:b3:3c:c1:1f:95:93\u00a0user@localhost<\/p>\n
