Openssl Generate Ssh Key Pair Without Passphrase

Generate ssh key aix
You can generate a secure shell (SSH) key pair for an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance on a UNIX or UNIX-like platform by using the ssh-keygen utility.

However, the passphrase isn’t a requirement, and pressing return (twice) will generate a key pair without one. Consequently, you won’t be asked for a passphrase when using your key. When the process has finished, the private key and the public key can be found in the /.ssh directory accessible from the Ubuntu terminal, or the following.

It's also possible to generate keys using openssl only.

  1. From your computer, run the ssh-keygen utility.

    Specify a filename for the private key. Also specify the RSA type and a size of 2048.

    The command format is: ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa -f filename

    For example: ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa -f mykey

  2. When prompted, enter a passphrase for the private key, or press Enter to create a private key without a passphrase.

    Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): YourPassphrase

    Note:

    While a passphrase is not required, Oracle recommends using one as a security measure to protect the private key from unauthorized use. When you specify a passphrase, a user must enter the passphrase every time the private key is used.

  3. If you provided a passphrase, enter it a second time when prompted.
