PermitRootLogin yes
2 If the line reads PermitRootLogin no, change the line to read yes.
4.3.3 Generating an SSH Key Pair for the Backup Host
To generate an SSH key pair for the backup host:
1 Log on to the backup host as the
root user.
2 Create a key pair with no passphrase using the
ssh-keygen command. If a key-pair
already exists, skip this section.
The
ssh-keygen utility generates two files, id_rsa and id_rsa.pub (or id_dsa and
id_dsa.pub). The id_rsa (or id_dsa) file contains the private key and the id_rsa.pub
(or
id_dsa.pub) file contains the public key.
4.3.4 Generating an SSH Key Pair for the Primary Host
You can either use the same SSH key pair generated for the backup host or generate a
different SSH key pair for the primary host. If you choose to use the same key pair, create one
InForm CLI user, otherwise, create two different CLI users to be accessed from the primary host
and the backup host, respectively. If you are generating a different SSH key pair for the
NOTE: If you are using native SSH, the sshd_config file is located in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.
<backup_host:# ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (//.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in //.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in //.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx root@<backup_host>
NOTE: You can create the SSH key as either dsa or rsa. The recommended key
length is 1024 (the total of the public and private key lengths).
