To use а SSH key pair to connect to a server, the "public" part of the pair has to be placed on the server. Please refer to the first section of the"How to create and access a Linux-based cloud server via an SSH key"article for instruction on how to generate key pairs under Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Now, when you have a key pair, you need to add a public key to the "authorized_keys" file in your home directory on the server.
SSH keys can be used to securely connect to server via the encrypted SSH protocol. This is a key pair: the private key is stored on the local computer and the public key is hosted on the server. We recommend using SSH keys instead of login and password to authenticate to the cloud server.

The basic format is “ssh username@ip_address”. Substitute “username” with your server's username and “ip_address” with the IP address or cloud server's hostname. If it's your first time connecting to the server, you might be asked to verify the server's fingerprint.
Connect to the server using your current key. ssh [email protected] -i /current_private_ssh_key.
Add a public key to the "authorized_keys" file. You can add a public key to the "authorized_keys" file using "nano" text editor (or any text editor of your choice): ...
Each time you connect to BIG-IP VE, Google searches for keys in your home directory (for example, ~/.ssh/google_compute_engine or google_compute_engine.pub ). If keys exist, Google uses them to connect.
Open your server settings and go to the Console tab. Then simply click the button on the left to Open the console connection. Log in using root or any other username and password stored on your Cloud Server.
If you need to edit the key, remove the key and add the correct key to the IBM Cloud console. The fingerprint that is listed with the details for the SSH key is not the key. The fingerprint is a short sequence of bytes that are used in the retrieval of the key.
To generate an SSH key on your Linux server, run the command ssh-keygen . The command can take flags if you would like to customize the type of key that is generated and the signing algorithms that are used to generate the key. This example generates a standard 2048-bit RSA key without a passphrase.
