Using SSH Keys to Connect to PSC

You can authenticate to PSC systems using a SSH public-private key pair by following these steps:

1. Generate your public and private keys on your local machine. Your SSH client should provide a way to do this.
2. Submit your public key to PSC via the PSC SSH Key Management system. Use your Kereberos password to gain access to the Key Manager.

   • In FireFox 3, click Tools → Options. Select the "Content" tab, then check "Enable JavaScript"
   • In Internet Explorer 7, click Tools → Internet Options. Select the "Security' tab. Click "Custom level...". Scroll down to "Scripting", sublevel "Active scripting", and check either "Enable" or "Prompt".
3. Within one business day, someone from the PSC User Services Hotline will contact you at the phone number on file for you at PSC to verify the key addition.
4. Once your key has been verified and installed, use the Key Manager to edit or delete your keys.
