Create an SSH Host Key

Summary

This procedure is optional. If you select SSH encryption, but do not create a

host key, the Battery Management System generates a 768-bit RSA key

when it reboots. Host keys for SSH that are created with the APC Security

Wizard are 1024-bit RSA keys.

• Use the APC Security Wizard to create a host key, which is encrypted

and stored in a file with .p15 extension.

• Load the host key onto the Management Card on the Battery

Management System master controller.

The procedure

Create the host key. Perform these steps. (Click Next to move from

screen to screen.)

1. If the APC Security Wizard is not already installed on your computer,

install it by running the installation program APC Security Wizard.exe

from the APC Battery Management System Utility CD.

2. On the Windows Start menu, select Programs, then APC Security

Wizard, to start the Wizard program.

3. On the screen labeled Step 1, select SSH Server Host Key as the

type of file to create.

4. Enter a name for the file that will contain the host key. The file name

must have a .p15 extension. By default, the file will be created in the

installation folder C:\Program Files\American Power

Conversion\APC Security Wizard.

5. Click Next to generate the Host Key
