SSH

In this project, I became familiar with connecting to and working with servers using the SSH protocol. I worked on a server provided by ALX School.

Tasks 📃

• 0. Use a private key

  • 0-use_a_private_key: Bash script that uses ssh to connect to my Holberton-provided server.

• 1. Create an SSH key pair

  • 1-create_ssh_key_pair: Bash script that creates an RSA key pair.

• 2. Client configuration file

  • 2-ssh_config: SSH configuration file configured to use the private key ~/.ssh/school and to refuse authentication using a password.

• 4. Client configuration file (w/ Puppet) 100-puppet_ssh_config.pp: Puppet file for making changes to our configuration file. Just as in the
  previous configuration file task, we’d like you to set up your client's SSH configuration file so that you can connect to a server without typing a password.

  Requirements:

  Your SSH client configuration must be configured to use the private key ~/.ssh/school Your SSH client configuration must be configured to refuse to authenticate using a password
