 +==== Starting a session from Pageant ==== 
 + 
 +

 + 
 +  * Right-click on the desktop and select ''​New''​ => ''​Shortcut''​ 
 +  * Specify the location of ''​putty.exe''​ in the //path// field, and click ''​Next'':​\\ ''​%%"​C:​\Program Files\PuTTY\putty.exe"​%%''​ (**with** the quotes!) 
 +  * Specify the name of the shortcut (as it will appear on the desktop), and save the shortcut\\ e.g. ''​obelix via ssh1''​ 
 +  * Right-click on the shortcut and select **Properties**,​ then add the name of the desired profile to the content of the //Target// field 
 +    * Warning: 
 +      * you have to **use an existing session name** (as it appears in ''​Pageant''​ => ''​Session''​ => ''​Saved Sessions''​) 
 +      * you have to **use quotes correctly**,​ otherwise you will get an error message! 
 +    * Examples:

 +    * Read [[other:​ssh#​some_common_sense_advice|Do not forget your passphrase!]] if you need some advice about passphrases 
 + 
 +  * The best thing to do is probably to **store the //key// files in the standard [[other:​ssh#​configuration_files|ssh configuration directory]]** of each desktop/​laptop/​servers you use! 
 +</​WRAP>​ 
 +==== Converting existing ssh keys with PuTTYgen ==== 
 + 
 +If you already have a private ssh key generated on another computer (e.g. an ''​id_ed25519''​ text file), you just have to use ''​PuTTYgen''​ to **import the existing private key**, and then export it to a //​converted//​ ''​id_ed25519.ppk''​ file that ''​Pageant''​ can use 
 + 
 +  * Move the ''​id_ed25519''​ key file to the [[other:​ssh#​configuration_files|Windows ssh configuration directory]] 
 +    * => ''​C:​\Users\your_windows_login\.ssh\id_ed25519''​

 + 
 +  * Open the ''​Conversions''​=>''​Import key''​ menu\\ {{ :​other:​putty_21b.png?​direct&​300 |}} 
 + 
 +  * Select the existing ''​id_ed25519''​ private key file (or another valid private key) and type the passphrase to unlock and import it 
 + 
 +  * Click on the ''​Save private key''​ button, and create an ''​id_ed25519.ppk''​ file in the [[other:​ssh#​configuration_files|Windows ssh configuration directory]] 
 +    * => ''​C:​\Users\your_windows_login\.ssh\id_ed25519.ppk''​ 
 + 
 +==== Creating ssh keys with PuTTYgen ==== 
 + 
 +If you don't already have an existing set of //​recent-enough//​ ssh keys, follow the steps below to **create a set of private and public keys**. 
 + 
 +Notes: 
 +  * by //​recent-enough//,​ we mean ssh keys of type //rsa// and preferably //ed25519// (//dsa// is deprecated)

-Once you have started pageant, and configured a session, ​+  * Launch the ''​PuTTY Key Generator'':​ ''​Start''​ => ''​PuTTY''​ => ''​PuTTYgen''​
  
-===== Adding ​and configuring a new session =====+  * Make sure that the selected //Type of key to generate// (at the bottom of the ''​PuTTYgen''​ window) is ''​EdDSA''​ (short for //​Edwards-curve DSA//), with the default ''​255''​ bits.\\ This will generate **//​ed25519//​ keys** that are now recommended on the IPSL servers 
 +    * {{:​other:​putty_23b.png?​direct&​500|}} 
 +    * You could also use ''​RSA'' ​and ''​4096''​ bits, but ''​ed25519''​ keys are now recommended to access the [[https://​documentations.ipsl.fr/​spirit/​spirit_clusters/​head_nodes.html|IPSL servers]]
  
-===== Making ssh tunnels with Putty =====+  * Click on the ''​Generate''​ button and move your mouse to generate some random information
  
-===== Using ssh keys =====+  * Type your ''​Key passphrase''​ and confirm it 
 +    * Read [[other:ssh#​some_common_sense_advice|Do not forget your passphrase!]] if you need some advice about passphrases
  
-==== Existing ​ssh keys ====+  * Click on the ''​Save private key''​ button, and create the ''​id_ed25519**.ppk**''​ **Pageant //private// key file** 
 +    * We recommend that you save this file in the the Windows [[other:​ssh#​configuration_files|ssh configuration directory]]\\ ​=> ''​C:​\Users\your_windows_login\.ssh\id_ed25519.ppk''​ 
 +    * Note: files with a ''​.ppk''​ extension can only be used by ''​PuTTY''/''​pageant''​. That's why you also need to //export// the private key, as shown below
  
-==== Importing or creating ​ssh keys with PuTTYgen ====+  * **Important!** Click ''​Conversions''​=>''​Export OpenSSH Key''​ and create the ''​id_ed25519''​ **standard //private// key file** (a text file with **no** ''​.ppk''​ extension) 
 +    * => ''​C:​\Users\your_windows_login\.ssh\id_ed25519''​ 
 +    * You will not need this file when you use ''​PuTTY'',​ but you may need to use this private key in a standard text format later, on Linux computers/​servers
  
 +  * Open a text editor and create the ''​id_ed25519**.pub**''​ **standard //public// key file**
 +    * => ''​C:​\Users\your_windows_login\.ssh\id_ed25519.pub''​
 +    * Save the content of the ''​Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file''​ field in the ''​id_ed25519**.pub**''​ file\\ Something looking like\\ <​code>​ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI[... lots of characters ...]vwjLNmY eddsa-key-20230310</​code>​
 +    * This is the **//​public//​ key** that you will need to [[other:​ssh#​installing_ssh_keys|install]] on all the remote Linux server that you want to connect to using the ssh agent, instead of typing your password
  
 +  * **WARNING!** Do **not** use the ''​Save public key''​ button to create the public key file, because the resulting file will not be standard enough to be used directly on Linux computers
  
 +==== Using the private key in Pageant ====
  
 +We assume that the **private key file** is available locally in ''<​some_disk_different_from_c>:​\Users\<​your_login>​\ssh\''​
  
 +  * Start ''​Pageant''​ and open the ''​Pageant Key List''​ window by:
 +    * Double-clicking (left mouse button) on ''​Pageant''​
 +    * Or right-clicking on ''​Pageant''​ and choosing ''​View keys''​
 +  * Click on ''​Add Key'',​ navigate to the directory where you have stored the ''​.ppk''​ converted private key file (e.g. ''​\Users\<​your_login>​\ssh\''​),​ open it and type your passphrase. You can ''​Close''​ the ''​Pageant Key List''​ once the key appears there\\ {{ :​other:​putty_private.png?​direct&​300 |}}
 +  * If everything was done correctly, you should now be able to open the //​Sessions//​ defined in ''​Pageant'',​ on remote servers where the **public key matching the private key** used in ''​Pageant''​ was [[other:​ssh#​installing_ssh_keys|installed correctly]]
