| + | |||
| + | First we generate a DSA key pair (use an empty password phrase if you want SSO): | ||
| + | <code dos> | ||
| + | C:\Program Files\x2goclient> | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | :!: ssh-keygen.exe prints the path to the key file(s), you will need that in the next step. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You'll need to transfer the public key file to the wanted server. You can do this using the scp.exe command with the path that ssh-keygen.exe printed (make sure you transfer the id_dsa**.pub** file): | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code dos> | ||
| + | C:\Program Files\x2goclient> | ||

| + | When the file has been transferred, | ||

| + | |||
| + | Go to your .ssh folder, add the contents of the public key file to your authorized_keys file and then remove the public key file: | ||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | cd ~/.ssh | ||
| + | cat ~/ | ||
