LocationDescriptionName
The public and private keys for
client users. The client uses these
Client user key files
• RSA-1 keys:
$HOME/.ssh/identity◦
keys for public-key authentication
only. You can generate a key pair
◦ $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub
with RSA-1, RSA, DSA, and
ECDSA algorithms. The client user
can choose the key type.
• RSA keys:
◦ $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
◦ $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Client host key files
• RSA-1 keys:
/opt/ssh/etc/ssh_host_key◦
client users connect to an sshd
instance using host-based

generated with RSA-1, RSA, DSA,
or ECDSA.
• RSA keys:
