• Setting up Git

An SSH key is an alternate way to identify yourself that doesn't require you to enter you username and password every time. SSH keys come in pairs, a public key that gets shared with services like GitHub, and a private key that is stored only on your computer. If the keys match, you're granted access. Add Your New SSH Key to the Portal: Navigate to the SSH Keys section of the Packet portal. Add your public SSH key. Note that below the key value area, you will see an option to associate this new key with a specific server. You may also select “all of them” if you have many existing servers. Be sure to select the servers that need this new. Below, we have provided a step-to-step guide to generating and importing SSH keys in SAP PI/PO based on the two most popular open-source tools—PuttyGen and OpenSSL. Follow these instructions if you’re a novice and willing to learn the entire process of setting up SSH keys in a flash.
