SSH1 Key with Pragma Fortress

Hello All,

I want to generate an SSH1 key (RSA) (Private-Public pair) however, I am unable to provide an input to the sshkeygen.exe command and specify the necessary type of the key.

After searching on the internet, I found an option (-I) to import SSH2 into an SSH1 file, however, the option is not working (throws an error).

C:\Program Files\Pragma Fortress Server\Clients>sshkeygen.exe -t rsa -i -f "C:\Users\Pragma_User\AppData\Roaming\PragmaSSH\id_rsa_ssh1"

Error reported is - No such file or directory

Can somebody suggest a correct combination in the command or another way to generate SSH1 compatible key using Pragma Fortress?

Hello,

You can generate a rsa1 key by using the "-t rsa1" parameter.

So your command line should be:

sshkeygen -t rsa1 -f c:\users\pragma_user\appdata\roamin\pragmassh\id_rsa_ssh1

You can get more information on our sshkeygen program at www.pragmasys.com/ssh-server/topics/idh-sshkeygen.htm
