Adding SSH Key Pairs

If you have not already generated your key pairs and need help doing so, please see the documentation that relates to your operating system:

Note

This guide assumes you are either accessing Anvil from on-campus, or are connected to the Anvil VPN.

Log into the Anvil web dashboard at https://anvil.unl.edu using your HCC credentials.  On the left-hand side navigation menu, click Access & Security.

Open your public key file, select the entire text, and copy it.  On the right-hand side, click the Import Key Pair button.

In the pop-up window, fill in the Key Pair Name field with a convenient name.  Paste the copied public key text in the larger Public Key box.

Click the Import Key Pair button to close the pop-up and save the key.  You should then see an entry with the saved key (the fingerprint value will be different than the example below).
