Pre-generated Ssh Host Keys

Explains how to generate ssh keys for remote login under UNIX / Linux / Mac OS X and BSD operating systems using the ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id commands. For more information, see the dedicated page on certificate-based authentication in SSH. Device authentication keys Host keys authenticate servers. Host keys are used for authenticating hosts, i.e., computers. Their purpose is to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. See the separate page on host keys for more information.

If you do not wish to supply the key path every time on client computer when connecting to remote server, one must tell OpenSSH where to look for private key, by default it looks in ~/.ssh/id_rsa and other folders, use ssh with -v parameter, verbose mode will print what it does step by step on screen. Usually this file should contain something like

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

You may have this file with .pem suffix. Pem is your private key, unlike .pub - the public key, private key stays always only on you computer, newer give up your private key. Content of ~/.ssh/id_rsa can be replaced with .pem file, it works fine, no conversion is needed.

Two or more private keys

If you have more servers and you wish to connect using multiple private keys, create ~/.ssh/config file, that contain following lines:

This file is recognized by ssh by default, it must be named config full path: ~/.ssh/config and if you wish to use sudo (for example later in cron with rsync), this file must be also accessible as /root/.ssh/config. In above file /media/11361B1123123634/ is my encrypted USB drive, so the upper two connections works only if the drive is mounted. In Host, first name is short name that can be used with ssh command, for example:

This should now connect you to server1.company.com without typing a password, this way also rsync and other command that use ssh may be used to work with other servers without supplying typed or visible passwords every time they communicate.
