      Hi to all,

      I have cloned (vmware) the pfsense server and reconfigured what I need. The "device key" remaining the same "mixes" the backups of the two pfsense (original and cloned).

      Is it possible to change the "device key" in "Auto Configuration Backup"?

      Thanks in advance

        The device key is based on the SSH host key, so to make a new one, remove the old keys and restart SSH.

        From a shell prompt on the console, do something like this:

        # rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host*
        # /etc/sshd
        

        That will generate a new set of SSH host keys and restart the SSH daemon.

        You can refresh the ACB page after doing that and you should see that the device key changed.
