Enterprise CA could generate Host Linux SSHD Host Keys?


linux ssh daemon identify using rsa key "self-generated" type, so, when ssh client connects (using standards name/password), pops-up message trusting certificate.

an enterprise ca generate private key teh linux host, avoiding prompt certificate? possible use wildcard or san?

the idea allow users connect ssh or sftp service without certificate prompt

linux machines use pem format certificates. need use openssl convert pem request format ca can read. once certificate issued, need use openssl convert certificate well.

you need configure of linux clients connecting ssh server trust pki well. each 1 of them needs configured that.

the ----- lines in pem certificate formats. why not seeing them if havent converted format.

it not quite correct. pem base64-encoded der (binary) value pem header , footer. there no need convert anything, because windows ca supports pem-encoded certificate request files.

what should do:

  1. on linux box use openssl generate key pair , certificate request.
  2. copy certificate request file (csr) windows ca , issue certificate
  3. use certificate export wizard export issued certificate in base64 encoding
  4. copy issued certificate linux box , save in appropriate location
