RSA key support?

Post by debacle »

Is it possible to use an RSA keypair for SSH access, instead of DSA? I'm on 9.3.0.2.1391, the web GUI rejects RSA, is this changed in new versions? Or is there a workaround by bypassing the web GUI?

I lease some server space, and I SSH from it into my NAS. It has just been upgraded and they dropped DSA support. They say I must switch to "RSA, EdDSA or Ed25519 keypairs".

Just to follow up, I didn't have any luck with my original idea. But it turned out that on the client side I could add "-o HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss" to the SSH command line.
