If -you rely on these key types, you will have to take corrective action or -risk being locked out. - -Your best option is to generate new keys using strong algos such as rsa -or ecdsa or ed25519. RSA keys will give you the greatest portability -with other clients/servers while ed25519 will get you the best security -with OpenSSH (but requires recent versions of client & server). - -If you are stuck with DSA keys, you can re-enable support locally by -updating your sshd_config and ~/.ssh/config files with lines like so: - PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-dss - -Be aware though that eventually OpenSSH will drop support for DSA keys -entirely, so this is only a stop gap solution. - -More details can be found on OpenSSH's website: - http://www.openssh.com/legacy.html |
