Log in with an SSH private key on Linux and macOS
This article demonstrates how to use a private key to log in to a Linux速server by using a private key with a Terminal session on macOS速. However,you can follow the same process to use a private key when using anyterminal software on Linux.
Note: For information about using Secure Shell (SSH) private keys on Microsoft速 Windows速 operating systems, see Logging in with an SSH Private Key on Windowsand Generate RSA keys with SSH by using PuTTYgen.
Sep 12, 2016 I was wondering if anyone knew of a VPN client that worked on a MAC, connects to a SonicWall, and supports 2FA. Horizon View Client for Mac OS X also supports optional RADIUS and RSA SecurID authentication. (RADIUS support was added with VMware Horizon View 5.1 and Horizon View Client for Mac OS X 1.5 or later.).
Prerequisites
To complete this process, you need the following software applications:
- SSH client software that is installed on your Linux or macOS operating system by default.
- Your favorite text editor. This example uses the vim text editor.
- Your private key. For more information about generating a key on Linux or macOS, see Connect to a server by using SSH on Linux or Mac OS X.
Log in with a private key
- Using a text editor, create a file in which to store your private key. This example uses the file deployment_key.txt.
- To edit the file in vim, type the following command:
- After the editor starts, press i to turn on insert mode.
- Paste your private key, such as the one in the following image, into the file.Be sure to include the BEGIN and END lines.
- To save your changes, press Esc.
- Type :wq to write the file and return to the command line.
- Run the following command to change the file permissions to 600 to secure the key. You can also set them to 400.This step is required:
- Use the key to log in to the SSH client as shown in the following example, which loads the key in file deployment_key.txt, and logs in as user demo to IP 192.237.248.66:
- When you are prompted to confirm the connection, type yes and then press Enter.
- If your SSH key requires a password, enter it when prompted to complete the connection.

Typically, when you configure an authentication action, you precede it with a Logon Page action to collect credentials. This example describes how to include more than one authentication item (RSA and AD authentication) in an access policy and present a Logon Page only once.
Access policy with RSA SecurID and AD Auth actions
In this example, if the Logon Page action is not customized, the access policy passes the same credentials to both the RSA SecurID and AD Auth authentication agents. But RSA SecurID accepts a user name and a token at logon, while Active Directory accepts a user name and password. To accommodate these differences, customize the Logon Page item.
Logon Page customization: how to collect a token and a password
The first highlighted entry defines a second password field. The second password is stored in the session.variable.last.password1 variable.
Note: Although the second password is stored in a session variable, it is not the session variable, session.variable.last.password, from which an authentication agent accepts the password.
The highlighted entries in the Customization area change the labels that the Logon Page displays, from Password to RSA Token Code for the first password and to AD Password for the second password.

Use the Variable Assign action to provide the appropriate password before the AD Auth action occurs.

The Variable Assign action moves the AD Auth password, stored in session.variable.last.password1, to the session.variable.last.password variable.
