With a secure shell (SSH) key pair, you can create virtual machines (VMs) in Azure that use SSH keys for authentication, eliminating the need for passwords to sign in. This article shows you how to quickly generate and use an SSH public-private key file pair for Linux VMs. You can complete these steps with the Azure Cloud Shell, a macOS or Linux host, the Windows Subsystem for Linux, and other tools that support OpenSSH.

Note

VMs created using SSH keys are by default configured with passwords disabled, which greatly increases the difficulty of brute-force guessing attacks.

For more background and examples, see Detailed steps to create SSH key pairs.

For Sourcetree on MacOS I had to change from OAuth to Basic authentication, use 'git' as the username (not my GitHub username), and generate the SSH key and input it into GitHub. Only then could I clone a GitHub repo via SSH in Sourcetree. Please follow the steps to add ssh key into bitbucket account to solve your issue. Open git bash terminal and enter the command ssh-keygen -t rsa -C 'your email address' Enter passphrase (leave it blank) and enter; Enter the same phrase again (leave it blank) and enter.

For additional ways to generate and use SSH keys on a Windows computer, see How to use SSH keys with Windows on Azure.

Supported SSH key formats

Azure currently supports SSH protocol 2 (SSH-2) RSA public-private key pairs with a minimum length of 2048 bits. Other key formats such as ED25519 and ECDSA are not supported.

Create an SSH key pair

Use the ssh-keygen command to generate SSH public and private key files. By default, these files are created in the ~/.ssh directory. You can specify a different location, and an optional password (passphrase) to access the private key file. If an SSH key pair with the same name exists in the given location, those files are overwritten.

The following command creates an SSH key pair using RSA encryption and a bit length of 4096:

If you use the Azure CLI to create your VM with the az vm create command, you can optionally generate SSH public and private key files using the --generate-ssh-keys option. The key files are stored in the ~/.ssh directory unless specified otherwise with the --ssh-dest-key-path option. The --generate-ssh-keys option will not overwrite existing key files, instead returning an error. In the following command, replace VMname and RGname with your own values:

Provide an SSH public key when deploying a VM

To create a Linux VM that uses SSH keys for authentication, specify your SSH public key when creating the VM using the Azure portal, Azure CLI, Azure Resource Manager templates, or other methods:

If you're not familiar with the format of an SSH public key, you can display your public key with the following cat command, replacing ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub with the path and filename of your own public key file if needed:

A typical public key value looks like this example:

If you copy and paste the contents of the public key file to use in the Azure portal or a Resource Manager template, make sure you don't copy any trailing whitespace. To copy a public key in macOS, you can pipe the public key file to pbcopy. Similarly in Linux, you can pipe the public key file to programs such as xclip.

The public key that you place on your Linux VM in Azure is by default stored in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub, unless you specified a different location when you created the key pair. To use the Azure CLI 2.0 to create your VM with an existing public key, specify the value and optionally the location of this public key using the az vm create command with the --ssh-key-values option. In the following command, replace VMname, RGname, and keyFile with your own values:

Oct 15, 2019  A public key aka a public address is your unique Bitcoin address, which is used for blockchain transactions. Every participant of the network can see it. It usually consists of 26-34 symbols – random numbers and letters – and generated on the basis of your private key. It identifies the sender and receiver of money. Your bitcoin private key is a randomly generated string (numbers and letters), allowing bitcoins to be spent. A private key is always mathematically related to the bitcoin wallet address, but is impossible to reverse engineer thanks to a strong encryption code base. How are bitcoin public keys generated. As Pieter Wuille mentioned, public keys are derived by performing point multiplication with the curve's base point and the secret exponent/private key. The resulting (x,y) coordinate is the public key. The Bitcoin address, just like the private key, is also displayed.

If you want to use multiple SSH keys with your VM, you can enter them in a space-separated list, like this --ssh-key-values sshkey-desktop.pub sshkey-laptop.pub.

SSH into your VM

With the public key deployed on your Azure VM, and the private key on your local system, SSH into your VM using the IP address or DNS name of your VM. In the following command, replace azureuser and myvm.westus.cloudapp.azure.com with the administrator user name and the fully qualified domain name (or IP address):

If you specified a passphrase when you created your key pair, enter that passphrase when prompted during the login process. The VM is added to your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file, and you won't be asked to connect again until either the public key on your Azure VM changes or the server name is removed from ~/.ssh/known_hosts.

If the VM is using the just-in-time access policy, you need to request access before you can connect to the VM. For more information about the just-in-time policy, see Manage virtual machine access using the just in time policy.

Please watch my short video illustrating the experience.

Scenario 1:

On MacOS X Sierra when setting up SourceTree for first time and choosing 'SSH' as the authentication method, SourceTree:

  1. Should not have a URL for the Bitbucket server, should be a hostname without the https://
  2. Should not need a 'password'
  3. Generate SSH Key button is greyed out
  4. User can skip setup and perform this step manually through the Remote Repository Browser's 'Add Account' function

Scenario 2

On MacOS X Sierra when using the 'Add Account' function the experience when selecting SSH as the authentication method is:

  1. URL is asked for, should be a hostname
  2. Password is not needed
  3. User should be able to select an existing ssh key on their system
  4. Generate Key button is visible and clickable, when clicked, process continues, but no key is generated and a 'Tooltip' is displayed when account is saved indicating no SSH key
  5. When editing the account, and selecting 'Generate Key' it now works (but generates a public/private key with a 'space' in the filename (e.g. mwilde_Bitbucket Server.pub)

After putting my public key in my account on Bitbucket and trying to clone, errors are related to what is in the '.ssh/config' file this occurs.

  1. No hostname is in the '.ssh/config' file (edited by SourceTree) causing a failure on clone
  2. When hostname is added, errors occur due to 'space' in filename
  3. When '.ssh/config' is edited removing spaces and subsequently renaming the private key to match the reference in the '.ssh/config' file

After 'fixing' all of these issues, cloning only works thru the CLI, or via a 'Clone in SourceTree' link up in Bitbucket Server. Cloning does not work through the remote repository browser.

Note: I have a few hundred people in my company i'd like to train on SourceTree (and have them use SSH keys if possible), so please fix this ASAP.
