1. Download and install SSL and openSSH on AIX client

  • rpm Ivh ssl
  • smitty install to install openssh (base, manpage, msg)
    Note: After the SSL and OpenSSH have been installed a directory called /.ssh will be created.

2. Generate the priv/pub keys on AIX client

  • cd ~/.ssh/
  • Type ssh-keygen t rsa
    Note: This will create id_rsa and id_rsa.pub

3. From AIX client add public key to HMC

  • scp hscroot@hmc_name:.ssh/authorized_keys2 temp_hmc
  • cat id_rsa.pub >> temp_hmc
  • scp tem_hmc hscroot@hmc_name:.ssh/authorized_keys2
  • Test it. Ex ssh hscroot@hmc_name date
