KeyPairs

A key pairs is a set of Key Pairss generated according to RSA or DSA encryption algorithm, consisting of a public key pairs and a private key pairs. The public key pairs file is used to create key pairs, and the private key pairs file needs to be kept properly by the user for signing in the servers or baremetal where the key pairs is bound.

How to use the key pairs file

• When users need to use the key pairs to log in to the servers, they need to create the key pairs first in the key pairs list using the public key pairs content.
• Bind the key pairs to the servers or baremetal.
• The user logs into the servers or baremetal remotely through the private key pairs file. Or get the user password through the private key pairs content on the cloud management platform, and then remotely log in to the servers or baremetal through the obtained password.
