Importing a Secure Shell (SSH) key list enables the central management server (CMS) to authenticate a secure connection and execute commands on managed systems. Multiple SSH keys are imported from one file and each SSH key appears on a line and is associated with a host system.

Only correctly formatted SSH keys can be imported into the Managed Systems SSH public keys list.

Refer to the Secure Shell (SSH) in HP Systems Insight Manager 5.0 white paper located at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for more information on the format of the SSH keys file.

To import an SSH key on the CMS:

  1. Select OptionsSecuritySSH Keys. The SSH Keys page appears.

  2. Click [Import]. The Import SSH Keys section appears under the Managed Systems SSH Public Keys list.

  3. Click [Browse] to navigate to the file that contains the SSH keys to be imported.

  4. Select the file and click [Open] to add the key to the Managed Systems SSH Public Keys list, or click [Cancel] to abort the operation.
