<p>Rick.retterer: </p> <hr /> <div>'''OpenSSH''' is an Open Source (BSD licensed) suite of secure networking utilities based on the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, which provides a secure channel over a potentially unsecured network. <br /> <br /> =How to connect over SSH=<br /> To connect from a Unix system to an OpenVMS system running OpenSSH, follow these steps:<br /> 1. On the Unix system, generate an ed25519 key pair:<br /> ssh-keygen -t ed25519<br /> 2. Once ready, connect to the OpenVMS machine and navigate to the [.SSH] directory of the user:<br /> set def [.ssh]<br /> 3. Open the AUTHORIZED_KEYS. file (or create a new one) and paste your public key there:<br /> $ create authorized_keys.<br /> ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC...<br /> user@test<br /> 4. Use the following command for connecting from your Unix system:<br /> ssh -o &quot;KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group1-sha1&quot;<br /> -o HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss<br /> -o PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-dss <br /> user@openvms_system <br /> -i your_key_file<br /> where '''user''' is the username on OpenVMS, '''openvms_system''' is the IP of your OpenVMS system running OpenSSH, and '''your_key_file''' is the path to the private key file on the Unix system generated in step 1.</div>
