1.7.2 Public key authentication available for JP1/AO

If you want to use public key authentication for SSH connections with operation target devices, you need to deploy a private key file on the JP1/AO server and a public key file on each operation target device.

Tip: The following shows an example in which a public key file and a private key file are created on the JP1/AO server. You can also create public key files and private key files on devices other than the JP1/AO server. In this case, the public key file corresponding to the private key file on the JP1/AO server must be deployed to each operation target device.

The following figure shows deployment of keys.
