WLC AIR-CT3504 SSH public key authentication

[Felix Zukerman]

Hi guys,

Is it possible to configure SSH public key authentication

Couldn't find any options via CLI or GUI for entering a public key.

For example, on switches, it is as follows:

ip ssh pubkey-chain
username TEST
key-string [Enter]
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAACAQO5583UrTL73Jv0qEJonUP
t20gWdWlZtbHot0NA4WIVdIFmCaydPDT/Aneqajndza64V4eVB0fJsW1y523LAu3s5zJ1CkV/V

Hi @marce1000 ,

Public key authentication is not covered.

It contains an overview of the basic and general SSH settings.

 - The ap may have auto-generated a  public-key , check this with : show running-config  (and or share here)

 My goal is to add our public key (the host I SSH from) to a WLC and use it for SSH authentication instead of a password.

I don't think that is supported on access points. M.
