第11章 SSH Keys
Business Central provides an SSH keystore service to enable user SSH authentication. Business Central provides a configurable default SSH keystore, extensible APIs (for custom implementations), and support for multiple SSH public key formats.
You can access the SSH Keys option on the Business Central Settings page to register your SSH public keys.
11.1. Default SSH keystore
The default SSH keystore included with Business Central provides a file-based storage mechanism to store a user’s public keys. By default, Business Central uses the *.security
folder as the root directory. However, you can also use a custom storage path by setting the value of the appformer.ssh.keys.storage.folder
system property to point to a different folder.
The SSH public keys are stored in the {securityFolderPath}/pkeys/{userName}/
folder structure.
Each SSH public key consists of the following files, located in the storage folder:
{keyId}.pub
: This file contains the SSH public key content. As the file name determines the logic key ID on the system, ensure that the file name is not modified during run time.For example:
ssh-rsa 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 userName
