I'd like to know if, in future versions of the pix firewall software , it will be possible to store RSA public keys on the pix flash memory, to authenticate clients connecting to it via ssh using RSA public key authentication instead of a password.
Thanks for your attention.

Hi,
Yes you can save the generated RSA key onto the PIX Flash memory. Use command, in config mode after you have generated your key with command: ca generate rsa key
> ca save all
You can view your generated RSA key by issuing command: sho ca mypubkey rsa
Hope this helps, Jay.

No,
what I'd like to do is to put the public key of my pc on the pix flash memory, so it could authenticate me by checking that I own the corresponding secret key; such a thing is possible on any other ssh server, and it would be very handy feature to have on the pix firewall, too.
