   • Hostname = yourdomain.com (.net, .org)
   • Port = 22
   • Username = Your Account User Name
   • Cipher = 3DES
   • Authentification = You can select password or RSA. If you select password go to step 10, for RSA go to step 6.

   

6. RSA Authentification: When you select the option to use the RSA Authentification you will be prompted to run the RSA Key Generation wizard to create an identity file. Select Yes.
7. Select the option to "Use Global" and then click on the "Create Identity File" button.

   

8. Follow the instructions for the RSA Key Generation Wizard. When prompted you can enter a passphrase and comment that will be displayed each time you log in. Use RSA key length of 1024 bits.
9. In your SSH Manager in your account control panel input your RSA key you just generated in the specified text box. This should be in a file called something like identity.pub in the same directory as you installed SecureCRT. Open this file in a text editor and copy and paste the contents into your control panel.
