We only need to define the ones that are non- id_rsa, which is the default if nothing changes. Your computer doesn’t know that there is a new key called airlibi, and even if it knew, it wouldn’t trial and error through all the keys you have in. Now GitHub trusts the airlibi ssh key, but your computer will still send the id_rsa key when running any ssh git commands. Next, we use the airlibi.pub key to create the SSH key pair in our GitHub company account. Your identification has been saved in /Users/matsbauer/.ssh/airlibi Your public key has been saved in /Users/matsbauer/.ssh/airlibi.pub This command will give us a new key named airlibi (or your company name or whatever you name it). Let’s say you already use this key for your private GitHub account, and you now need a key for your company account. This is the one Git knows to use when connecting to GitHub (or Gitlab). Here you will also find the standard key id_rsa. This script is a part of our Mac-Scripts project on GitHub.Ĭheck out for some more OS X Server tweaks and tips.The error GitHub gives you when trying to use the same SSH key for two accounts Location of the SSH keysįirst, on Mac, we have a single location for SSH keys which is Users/username/.ssh. Running the script is as simple reading the README file, then copying and pasting this bash line into terminal: For the peace of mind and a little added security, running SSH on a non-standard port is just a good idea. The majority of the time this results in no harm, as they have to randomly guess login credentials. Bots and scanners crawl the web looking for responses on port 22. If this machine is live on the internet and port 22 is not being filtered by a firewall then you may run into some unwanted attention. SFTP file transfers and remotely diagnosing a distressed Mac with non-functioning VNC/ARD access are two prime examples for enabling Remote Login. This allows for some powerful remote access via the command line. Under the sharing preferences there is a ‘Remote Login’ option that requires a single click to be activated. Some of the articles sparked a few ideas and we put together a nice little script that will quickly (within seconds) change the port that SSH listens on.Įnabling remote SSH access on a Mac is simplistic and easy. One of our customers recently linked us to their blog where they have nice collection of OS X Server related articles.
