      Hello,

      i want to create private Key for SSH-Login to pfsense gui.

      i think i have to add a certificate in the cert-manager for this.

      but i found one entry:
      webConfigurator default …........

      should i modify this cert or can i make i new own one ?
      should i have to delete the default?

      thanks for help

          Are you looking for the checkbox in Web GUI:

          System: Advanced: Admin Access

          Disable password login for Secure Shell (RSA key only)

            RESOLUTION for ssh login with PRIVAT KEY inclusive passphrase! (Offensive Security Certified Professional :) )

            with PuttyGen!

            i have make a privat key with passphrase via ssl tool in debian-linux. you can also make it in windows^^

            step two:

            load it into puttygen and copy the ssh-rsa output to the User Interface in pfsense User-Manager into Authorized-Key

            finish!

            now you can login over ssh into pfsense with your privakey structure

            thanks
            CLOSED!
