+ | ==== Using OpenSSH Public Keys on OpenVMS Systems ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can use OpenSSH keys on VMS systems, but there are some gotchas. First off, you need to be using RSA keys. DSA keys don't always work depending on the version of VMS you happen to be dealing with. The procedure goes something like this: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - On the Linux/Unix side run **ssh-keygen -t rsa** then answer the prompts. You'll notice the default place to save the keys is $HOME/.ssh | ||
+ | - Now convert the public key to RFC4716 format for OpenVMS to use. **ssh-keygen -e -f id_rsa.pub | tee mykey.pub** | ||
