You can generate a secure shell (SSH) key pair for an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance on a UNIX or UNIX-like platform by using the ssh-keygen utility.
  1. From your computer, run the ssh-keygen utility.

    Specify a filename for the private key. Also specify the RSA type and a size of 2048.

    The command format is: ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa -f filename

    For example: ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa -f mykey

  2. When prompted, enter a passphrase for the private key, or press Enter to create a private key without a passphrase.

    Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): YourPassphrase

    Sims 4 online key generator page. Note:

    While a passphrase is not required, Oracle recommends using one as a security measure to protect the private key from unauthorized use. When you specify a passphrase, a user must enter the passphrase every time the private key is used.

  3. If you provided a passphrase, enter it a second time when prompted.

The ssh-keygen utility creates two files:

You can generate a secure shell (SSH) key pair for an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance on a UNIX. Or press Enter to create a private key without a passphrase. I am using the following command in order to generate a CSR together with a private key by using OpenSSL: openssl req -new -subj '/CN=sample.myhost.com' -out newcsr.csr -nodes -sha512.

Openssl Generate Public Private Key

  • filename - The private key

  • filename.pub - The public key

  • I'm using openssl to sign files, it works but I would like the private key file is encrypted with a password. These are the commands I'm using, I would like to know the equivalent commands using a.
  • Both examples show how to create CSR using OpenSSL non-interactively (without being prompted for subject), so you can use them in any shell scripts. Create CSR and Key Without Prompt using OpenSSL. Use the following command to create a new private key 2048 bits in size example.key and generate CSR example.csr from it.
  • The openssl req command from the answer by @Tom H is correct to create a self-signed certificate in server.cert incl. A password-less RSA private key in server.key. Openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -keyout server.key -out server.cert Here is how it works. Omitting -des3 as in the answer by @MadHatter is not enough in this case to create a private key without passphrase.
  • If you don't already have an SSH key, you must generate a new SSH key. If you're unsure whether you already have an SSH key, check for existing keys. If you don't want to reenter your passphrase every time you use your SSH key, you can add your key to the SSH agent, which manages your SSH keys and remembers your passphrase.
