[SOLVED] SSH / Publik Key

trickynapzter · 08-08-2012, 04:44 AM

hello everybody, if am going to add another public key to my ssh server, do i need to store it in another file? Or just add it up into one file.

I have already setup the ssh public key for one user, it is stored in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys . If i am going to add another public key.. do i need to create another file? (eg: ~/.ssh/authorized_key2).

Thank you everyone.

yes you will create secong pair of keys and you will add line from id_rsa.pub to the file authorized_keys on server
something like this:

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAK52qcZqnWi2gLehQ....== user@desktop

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABAKP5fdfdfdadasdsd....== user@desktop2

of course there will be your keys and your name with hostname.
