PrivateKeyData property
Holds private key - as byte array.
Type
An array of Byte values. Syntax
object.PrivateKeyData(KeyType ) [= value()]
The PrivateKeyData(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() | An array of Byte values. |
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. |
PrivateKeyData 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 (or PrivateKey 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 PrivateKeyData property and wodSSHD will immediately be able to use it.
KeyType must be specified to determine what key is stored/retrieved.
Note that setting PrivateKeyData with unexpected data may result in wodSSHD rejecting your key. It is advised to set PrivateKeyData only with data you have previously retrieved from the same property (in previous session).
