What authentication formats are supported?

As a standard, we currently only support SSH keys in OpenSSH-format as they are preferred and more secure than username/password combinations.  If you operate in a Linux environment, you can generate new SSH keys using this command in the Terminal:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"

If you operate in a non-Linux environment, you'll need to download PuTTYgen in order to generate the key.  To do that, navigate to:  https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html and download the latest version of PuTTYgen for your environment.

Once you have the PuTTYgen app downloaded:

1. Open the PuTTYgen program.
2. For Type of key to generate, select SSH-2 RSA.
3. Click the Generate button.
4. Move your mouse in the area below the progress bar. When the progress bar is full, PuTTYgen generates your key pair.
5. In the Key passphrase field, leave this area blank so as not to require a passphrase.  The AUM automation cannot be configured to enter a passphrase.
6. Click the Save private key button to save the private key.  You must save the private key. You will need it to connect to your machine.
7. Click the Save public key button to save the public key.

Once you have the public key saved, you'll need to send it to support@livesafemobile.com to get your SFTP integration started.
