#VMWARE ESXI 6 PRODUCT KEY PASSWORD#
The passphrase can be stored on your computer by using a password agent.īelow you can see my public and private key in my home folder: ~ $ ls -lh /home/renemolenaar/.ssh/ Normally it would be better to specify a passphrase, I didn’t do it for this example but it means that everyone with access to my desktop computer will be able to SSH into the ESXi host. By using -c I can add a comment which is useful to recognize my desktop computer. I used -t to specify that I want a RSA key and -b is the encryption level. You can see that my computer has generated a public and private key and has stored them somewhere in my home folder. Your identification has been saved in /home/renemolenaar/.ssh/id_rsa. First we’ll generate the keys: ~ $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "RMCSWS001"Įnter file in which to save the key (/home/renemolenaar/.ssh/id_rsa):Įnter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): I will be using my Linux desktop computer to generate a public and private key, and I will export my public key to the ESXi server. In my case I had to configure a Linux server that is connected to a UPS to instruct the ESXi server to shutdown in case of a power failure. This can be very useful for VMware ESXi servers if you want to run scripts from remote machines.
SSH supports public key authentication instead of username/password authentication.
