Excerpt
nameConfigure SSH Keys on your Linux Box
  1. Unzip the files associated with your login to your .ssh folder:

    Code Block
    unzip <username>.zip -d ~/.ssh/
  2. Test your configuration. If If configured properly, you will be logged in automatically, and will not be prompted for a password (first factor), nor second factor authentication for login.

Note: If you run into permissions errors on the key files (usually errors will take the form of something similar to: "permission 0### too open") we recommend running the following commands then reattempting to ssh using your key files.

Code Block
chown you:you id_edsca id_edsca.pub id_edsca-cert.pub # Set you as owner of files (if set to root.  Replace "you" with local client account name)  
chmod 0600 -R ~/.ssh                                  # Sets appropriate permissions for .ssh private keys 
ssh-add                                               # Configures ssh agent for certs if not natively supported
