PrivateKey property
Holds private key.
Type
A String value. Syntax
object.PrivateKey (KeyType) [= value]
The PrivateKey(object,KeyType,value) syntax has these parts:
| object | An expression evaluating to an object of type SSHKeyPair. |
| KeyType | Required. A SSHKeyTypes enumeration, as described in settings. Type of the key (RSA, DSA or ECDSA). |
| value | A String value. |
Remarks
The settings for KeyType are:
| Constant | Value | Description |
| RSAkey | 0 | Uses RSA cipher to create keys. |
| DSAkey | 1 | Uses DSA cipher to create keys. |
| ECDSAkey | 2 | Uses ECDSA cipher to create keys. |
PrivateKey property is used if you don't want to call internal
Load and
Save methods to preserve key data between wodSSHD sessions. Once you
Generate new key, you can retrieve it's raw data using this property, and store it somewhere depending what your needs are. Obtaining private key data this way does not encrypt it in any way - you should do it by yourself when you store the key.
In later sessions, you can easily load your key internally, and put it in PrivateKey property and wodSSHD will immediately be able to use it.
KeyType must be specified to determine what key is stored/retrieved.
Note that setting PrivateKey with unexpected data may result in wodSSHD rejecting your key. It is advised to set PrivateKey only with data you have previously retrieved from the same property (in previous session).
