PHP Public Keys with SSH
|
|
PHP development can benefit greatly from the use of SSH and Public-key authentication. The role of Public and Private keys is explained in PHP Security scenario and now we just need to make the keys. How? There are two ways to do it:
- Follow the numerous instructions widely available on the web
- Or if your SSH server is openssh you may use the key generator built-in into PhpED

How to generate the Keys in PHP IDE
- Go to Tools->Accounts and select the Keys tab. Bring up the popup menu SSH settings -> New -> SSH settings, it will ask you if you want to create keys (certificates). Select "Yes" to generate the keys.
- All ssh2-compatible public keys created by PhpED - PHP IDE are listed in "Public identity files" with their extension ".pub" and prefix "id_" . For example, "id_rsa5.pub".
- Corresponding private keys are listed in Host key files and ssh2 compatible are the ones with the prefix id_ , for example id_rsa5
- PhpED supports any keys in openssh-compatible format. If you already made the keys and they are in openssh-compatible format, you may add them to the lists mentioned above.
- If your keys are protected with passphrase, don't forget to enter it into the "Certificate pass phrase" input

How to deploy the public Keys
Copy public key on to your server. Please check with your server manual on where and how the key is recognized by server. In case of openssh server it is ~/.ssh/known_hosts file where ssh2-compatible key should be copy-pasted.
