  • Troubles with generating SSH-Key Pairs

    Posted by stripeset on November 12, 2006 at 13:24

    As i was trying many times to generate a valid keypair with “puttygen” i was searching the internet for alternatives and i found this:

    http://www.unixwerk.de/solaris/openssh.html

    I was able to use the “ssl-keygen -t dsa” command on my ubuntu 6.10 server without any additional packages (except the necessary ones for pandora) installed.

    The command generates a valid pair of keys in a very simple way.

    Hope this helps some of you.

    Greetings

    Thanks Mario, we have found a bug in windows ssh libraries that it’s fixed now. To generate a valid openssh key with Puttygen you need to insert a carriage return in keyfile or download new binary from our SVN.
