Here is a preview of the steps to follow in configuring a VT Display session for SSH client authentication using a public key:

  1. Use keytool (a program distributed with Z and I Emulator for Web) to generate a public-private key pair. (This tool stores both keys of the pair as an entry in a file called a keystore.)
  2. Use the Export Public Key utility (integrated into the SSH configuration window of the VT Display session configuration) to extract the public key from the keystore into a separate file.
  3. Configure the SSH server with the public key.
  4. Copy the keystore containing the public-private key pair to the workstation for the SSH client.
  5. Configure the SSH configuration window for client authentication using a public key.

The remaining pages of this tutorial describe these steps.
