Step by Step guide to the configurations of iQSonar and SSH Keys.
Target Server
Locate the .ssh directory for the user you will use to scan the target server (If the directory doesn't exist for that user it will need to be created)
Existing Key
To copy the file use the following:
ssh-copy-id -i "filename" user@hostname
Permissions that are required are 600 for that authorized_keys file.
iQSonar configuration
Navigate to locations > credentials
- Set Credential Type to Unix Linux
- Select SSH Key
- Insert your Private Key
- Save and Close
Note
The SSH Key is treated like a password and can't be retrieved from the UI once saved
