Activating SSH Offline with PETC

Before you begin

Prior to activating SSH, you are assumed to have completed the following:
  • The needed devices have been enrolled in Edge Manager.
  • You have generated a signing request for your device(s) via Edge Manager and obtained a signed SSK key (.ssk) file.

About this task

Procedure

  1. In the left navigation pane, select Signed Keys.
  2. In the Select Action drop-down, select Add Key.
  3. In the Add Signed File window, click the Choose File button and locate the signed SSK key (.ssk) file.
  4. Click the Finish button.
    The signed key has been activated and the Signed Keys table shows the activated key at the top of the table with the Status Active.

Results

Using the activated key, you can now access the devices enrolled in SSH. If you are prompted for a password when trying to SSH into a device, that device has not been properly enrolled.
